Gene expression and functional deficits underlie TREM2-knockout microglia responses in human models of Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract The discovery of TREM2 as a myeloid-specific Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk gene has accelerated research into the role of microglia in AD. While TREM2 mouse models have provided critical insight, the normal and disease-associated functions of TREM2 in human microglia remain unclear. To exam...
