This hypothesis proposes that activated microglia use TREM2 signaling to coordinate both synaptic pruning and oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) recruitment in a spatially and temporally coupled manner. When microglia identify synapses for pruning through TREM2-dependent recognition of 'eat-me' signals, they simultaneously release specific chemokines (CCL2, CXCL12) and growth factors (PDGF-AA, FGF2) that recruit OPCs to the same neural circuits. This creates a coordinated remodeling process wh
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
