Microglia Gravitate toward Amyloid Plaques Surrounded by Externalized Phosphatidylserine via TREM2
9 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Microglia play a crucial role in synaptic elimination by engulfing dystrophic neurons via triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2). They are also involved in the clearance of beta‐amyloid (Aβ) plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD); nonetheless, the driving force behind TREM2‐mediated phagocytosis of beta‐amyloid (Aβ) plaques remains unknown. Here, using advanced 2D/3D/4D co‐culture systems...
