Triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells (TREMs) encompass a family of cell-
surface receptors chiefly expressed by granulocytes, monocytes and tissue macrophages.
These receptors have been implicated in inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, bone
remodelling, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis and cancer. Here, I review the structure,
ligands, signalling modes and functions of TREMs in humans and mice and discuss the
challenges that remain in understanding TREM biology.
