Abstract

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Yoo et al.<sup>1</sup> report that replacing Trem2 knockout microglia with Trem2 wild-type microglia-like cells derived from systemically transplanted hematopoietic cells rectifies microglial dysfunction in a mouse model of amyloidosis. These findings highlight the potential of microglia replacement therapy for Alzheimer's disease treatment.
