Abstract

Significance: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common dementia; no therapy halts its progression. AD pathology, including amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and synapse loss, triggers microglial responses that modulate disease course. The TREM2 receptor promotes microglia responses to pathology and a variant, TREM2 R47H , impairs ligand binding and increases AD risk. Employing scRNA-seq, we asked: can an anti-TREM2 antibody, acting as a surrogate ligand, stimulate microglia in mice that accumulate Aβ and express either the common TREM2 variant ( TREM2 CV ) or TREM2 R47H ? One systemic injection of anti-TREM2 restored microglia activation in TREM2 R47H mice but promoted limited activation in mice carrying TREM2 CV , which binds endogenous ligands. Thus, anti-TREM2 can strengthen microglial responses during AD, contingent on preexisting TREM2 engagement and basal activation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
