Some Viruses Produce Insulin-Like Proteins. ... Regarding the innate immune system, impaired chemotaxis and phagocytosis of neutrophils have been observed in patients with type 2 diabetes.

He hypothesized that TREM2-deficient microglia might ramp up these external digestive mechanisms to compensate for their deficits in phagocytosis. In particular, TREM2-deficient microglia poorly ...

While TMEM119 has been known as a specific marker of homeostatic microglia, the authors demonstrated that TMEM119 mediates phagocytosis of Aβ by forming a complex with Aβ and LRP1. As LRP1 interacts ...
