## Mechanistic Overview Metabolic Reprogramming via Microglial Glycolysis Inhibition starts from the claim that modulating HK2 within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## **Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The therapeutic strategy of metabolic reprogramming through microglial glycolysis inhibition represents a novel approach to neurodegeneration that exploits the fundamental metabolic differences between inflamma

## Mechanistic Overview HK2-Dependent Metabolic Checkpoint as the Gatekeeper of DAM Transition starts from the claim that modulating HK2 within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** Hexokinase 2 (HK2) represents a critical metabolic enzyme that catalyzes the first rate-limiting step of glycolysis, phosphorylating glucose to glucose-6-phosphate while simultaneously occupying a unique
