TREM2 AGONISTS FOR THE STIMULATION OF MICROGLIA AND METHODS OF IDENTIFICATION

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to methods of promoting phagocytosis, particularly the phagocytic activity of microglia via activation of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2). The present disclosure is also directed to methods of activating TREM2 in a cell, particularly a neuronal cell exhibiting an accumulation of a pathogenic protein. The present disclosure is directed to detecting an effect of a compound on the TREM2 activity as well.
