📢 Our latest work is now in press at @natcomms.nature.com! A great collaboration with the Schultze lab @dzne.science & Denali Therapeutics, to identify molecular and functional changes associated with TREM2 signalling in microglia, with implications for TREM2 agonism.. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
TREM2 expression level is critical for microglial state, metabolic capacity and efficacy of TREM2 agonism - Nature Communications
TREM2 is an important AD risk factor playing essential roles in the microglial response to amyloid pathology. Here, authors show using a TREM2 reporter mouse that TREM2 levels are critical for efficac...

A DZNE-led project in Germany is testing an app for people with dementia living at home. It also supports family caregivers. The app connects users with memory-clinic professionals and practical resources. Goal is to reduce caregiver burden and stabilize home care.
