In advanced neurodegeneration, p-tau217 may no longer reflect ongoing pathology due to loss of viable neurons capable of producing tau. Patients with severe atrophy may show spurious p-tau217 normalization due to floor effects, making it unreliable as a stopping rule. However, no threshold defines 'severe' neurodegeneration for this purpose, and the relationship between structural atrophy and neuronal p-tau217 production capacity is not established. The hypothesis identifies an important confoun
## Mechanistic Overview
TREM2-Dependent Astrocyte-Microglia Cross-talk in Neurodegeneration starts from the claim that modulating TREM2 within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## **Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The TREM2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2) signaling cascade represents a critical node in neuroinflammation regulation, with its dysfunction fundamentally altering astrocyte-microgli
