## Mechanistic Overview
TREM2-P2RY12 Balance Restoration Therapy starts from the claim that modulating TREM2 within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process.

TREM2-Dependent Astrocyte-Microglia Cross-talk in Neuroinflammation proposes that TREM2 dysfunction disrupts critical intercellular communication networks between microglia and astrocytes, leading to pathological neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases. Under normal conditions, TREM2 signaling in microglia promotes the release of anti-inflammatory mediators including IL-10, TGF-β, and specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) that maintain astrocytes in a homeostatic A2-like state.
