## Molecular Mechanism and Rationale
The archived hypothesis centers on targeting the microglial activation cascade through selective modulation of the TREM2-DAP12-SYK signaling pathway in Alzheimer's disease. TREM2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2) represents a critical immunoreceptor that governs microglial responses to amyloid plaques and neuroinflammatory stimuli. The molecular mechanism involves TREM2's association with the adaptor protein DAP12 (DNAX-activation protein 12
