Description

The study demonstrates that sTREM2 mediates the BIN1-tau relationship but doesn’t explain how BIN1 genetic variants influence microglial sTREM2 production or how sTREM2 then affects tau phosphorylation. Understanding this pathway is crucial for developing targeted interventions that could modulate neuroinflammation in AD.
