This hypothesis proposes that microglial TREM2 activation serves as a master regulator that coordinates both synaptic pruning and oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) maturation to restore structural connectome integrity. TREM2-activated microglia would function as central orchestrators, using their synaptic pruning machinery to identify damaged or dysfunctional neural circuits while simultaneously releasing specific trophic factors and cytokines that promote OPC differentiation into mature olig
This hypothesis proposes that incorporating Parent B's mechanistically precise site-specific TREM2 fragment ratio analysis (N-terminal vs C-terminal fragments reflecting ADAM10/17 protease activity) into Parent A's robust multi-analyte framework creates a superior biomarker panel for detecting microglial priming states. The approach combines TREM2 fragment ratios with YKL-40 (neuroinflammatory priming) and neurogranin (synaptic vulnerability) using a weighted algorithm that leverages the specifi
