Gamma/tFUS Entrainment as Biomarker Modulator of Neuroinflammation, Amyloid, and Tau

Hypothesis

Gamma/tFUS Entrainment as Biomarker Modulator of Neuroinflammation, Amyloid, and Tau

Using downstream glial and amyloid/tau biomarkers (plasma p-tau217, GFAP, NfL, amyloid PET, cytokine panels, TSPO PET, microglial scRNA-seq) as pharmacodynamic readouts after gamma/tFUS.

🧪 Overview

Using downstream glial and amyloid/tau biomarkers (plasma p-tau217, GFAP, NfL, amyloid PET, cytokine panels, TSPO PET, microglial scRNA-seq) as pharmacodynamic readouts after gamma/tFUS. NOT claiming that gamma directly normalizes APOE4 or TREM2 transcription as a primary causal mechanism. Gamma entrainment may reduce neuronal damage and downstream glial activation indirectly; APOE/TREM2 expression changes should be exploratory, not the central thesis.
