The interaction between APOE and TREM2 on microglia determines neuroinflammatory responses in neurodegeneration. Developing small molecules that enhance APOE-TREM2 binding could promote protective microglial activation states while suppressing harmful inflammatory cascades through improved lipid sensing and phagocytic activity. ## Molecular Basis of the APOE-TREM2 Interaction TREM2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2) is a transmembrane receptor expressed on microglia that functi...
