18 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
The role played by microglia has taken the center of the stage in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Several genome-wide association studies carried out on large cohorts of patients have indeed revealed a large number of genetic susceptibility factors corresponding to genes involved in neuroinflammation and expressed specifically by microglia in the brain. Among these genes TREM2, a cell surface receptor...
