Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
Direct TREM2 agonism to convert infiltrating monocytes from pro-inflammatory to reparative DAM phenotype. Following CCR2-mediated infiltration, monocytes differentiate within the CNS microenvironment where TREM2 signaling critically determines adoption of disease-associated (DAM) neuroprotective versus pro-inflammatory destructive phenotypes.
**Background and Rationale** Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) represents one of the most significant genetic risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, with rare loss-of-function variants conferring up to threefold increased risk of dementia. This single-pass transmembrane receptor, exclusively expressed on microglia within the brain, has emerged as a critical regulator of microglial phenotype and function throughout the lifespan. Under physiological conditions, TR
