Microglial sTREM2 limits dyskinesia and acts on TrkB to support circuit plasticity

Caitlin Castagnola, Roberta Marongiu, Yuansong Wan…·Li Gan

The paper identifies a microglial gene program linked to dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease and shows that sTREM2 reduces dyskinesia by modulating TrkB signaling and synaptic plasticity.
