TL;DR Summary

The youth-associated protein TIMP2 is essential for healthy microglia; its loss ages microglia and impairs debris clearance, while systemic TIMP2 treatment in aged mice reduces inflammation and restores waste-clearing function, suggesting a potential therapeutic pathway for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.
