## **Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The CX3CR1-mediated fractalkine signaling pathway represents a critical regulatory axis controlling neuron-microglia communication throughout development and aging. CX3CR1 (C-X3-C motif chemokine receptor 1) functions as the sole receptor for fractalkine (CX3CL1), a unique membrane-bound chemokine expressed constitutively on neurons. Under physiological conditions, fractalkine acts as a molecular "keep-off" signal, binding to microglial CX3CR1 to maintai

## Mechanistic Overview Optogenetic Microglial Deactivation via Engineered Inhibitory Opsins starts from the claim that modulating CX3CR1 within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The optogenetic microglial deactivation strategy exploits the selective expression of inhibitory opsins in microglia through CX3CR1-targeted delivery systems to achieve precise temporal and spatial cont
