**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The molecular mechanism underlying AQP4-mediated neuroinflammation centers on the critical role of aquaporin-4 water channels in maintaining blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity and regulating astrocyte-mediated immune responses. AQP4, predominantly expressed in perivascular astrocyte end-feet, forms orthogonal arrays of particles (OAPs) that facilitate rapid water transport and maintain osmotic homeostasis. When AQP4 function becomes compromised, either thr
## 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
