Microbiome-generated amyloid and potential impact on amyloidogenesis in Alzheimer's disease (AD)
42/100 ✓ Peer-reviewed TREM2 and immune genetics Journal of nature and science
Key finding: In the last 18 months multiple laboratories have reported two particularly important observations: (i) that because the microbes of the human microbiome naturally secrete large amounts of amyloid, lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and other related pro-inflammatory pathogenic signals, these may contribute to both the systemic and CNS amyloid burden in aging humans; and (ii) that the clearance of Aβ peptides appears to be intrinsically impaired by deficits in the microglial plasma-membrane enriched triggering receptor expressed in microglial/myeloid-2 cells (TREM2). +1 more finding
