**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The C1Q complement system component represents a critical bridge between innate immunity and neuroinflammation, particularly through its interaction with the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in brain-resident microglia and infiltrating macrophages. C1Q, composed of C1QA, C1QB, and C1QC subunits in a 6:6:6 stoichiometry, functions as the recognition component of the classical complement cascade. In the neuroinflammatory context, C1Q binds to modified lipoproteins,
## Mechanistic Overview
C1Q-Induced Foam Cell Formation via Scavenger Receptor Upregulation starts from the claim that modulating C1QA/C1QC within the disease context of neuroinflammation can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## Mechanistic Overview C1Q-Induced Foam Cell Formation via Scavenger Receptor Upregulation starts from the claim that modulating C1QA/C1QC within the disease context of neuroinflammation can redirect a disease-relevant process.
