## 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 Metabolic Switch Targeting for A1→A2 Repolarization 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 hexokinase 2 (HK2)-mediated metabolic switch represents a fundamental regulatory mechanism governing astrocyte phenotypic polarization between the neurotoxic A1 and neuroprotective A2 states. HK2, the predominant hexok
