  1. Cannabidiol Enhances Microglial Beta-Amyloid Peptide Phagocytosis and Clearance via Vanilloid Family Type 2 Channel Activation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. International journal of molecular sciences 2022-05-11 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with the accumulation and aggregation of amyloid in the brain.

  2. The Microglial membrane receptor TREM2 mediates exosome secretion to promote phagocytosis of amyloid-β by microglia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. FEBS letters 2022-03-23 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Considerable evidence links the microglial transmembrane receptor TREM2 to the progression of Alzheimer's disease through its involvement in Aβ phagocytosis by microglia.

  3. Potentiation of amyloid beta phagocytosis and amelioration of synaptic dysfunction upon FAAH deletion in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of neuroinflammation 2021-09-29 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Our findings support the therapeutic potential of modulating, rather than suppressing, neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease.

  4. Biomarkers of inflammation and amyloid-beta phagocytosis in patients at risk of Alzheimer disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Experimental gerontology 2009-08-21 Biomarkers

    The ultimate goal of diagnostic research is a blood test detecting the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD) before neuronal damage develops.

  5. Phagocytosis and deposition of vascular beta-amyloid in rat brains injected with Alzheimer beta-amyloid

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The American journal of pathology 1992-06-01 Biomarkers

    The presence of extracellular deposits of beta-amyloid protein in the brain is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
