Structural and functional analysis of TREM2 interactions with amyloid beta reveal molecular mechanisms that mediate phagocytosis of oligomeric amyloid beta
2024-05-25
Abstract excerpt
The TREM2 receptor is expressed on microglia in the brain, where it plays critical roles regulating microglia function. TREM2 engages a number of ligands involved in Alzheimer’s disease, and consequent signaling triggers phagocytosis, activation, survival, and proliferation. TREM2 has emerged as a drug target for AD, however very little is known regarding the structural basis for TREM2 microglial functions. Here w...
