🧪 Overview

Imbalanced TREM2/CX3CR1 signaling drives microglial hyperactivation and impaired amyloid clearance. Loss of TREM2 activation combined with elevated CX3CL1-CX3CR1 signaling creates a pro-inflammatory microglial state resistant to transition to disease-associated microglia (DAM), preventing efficient phagocytosis of amyloid plaques while maintaining neurotoxic cytokine release.
