## Mechanistic Overview Complement C1q Mimetic Decoy Therapy starts from the claim that modulating C1QA within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The complement component 1q (C1q) represents a critical molecular bridge between innate immunity and synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system. C1q is a hexameric glycoprotein composed of three distinct polypeptide chains (C1qA,
