sex-divergent microglial activation states and X-linked immune escape genes as proximal driver in Sex-Specific Microglial States in Amyloid vs Tau Pathology and Cognitive Decline
🧪 Overview
sex-divergent microglial activation states and X-linked immune escape genes should produce a measurable proximal phenotype before late disease pathology. The decisive test is sex-stratified single-nucleus RNA-seq with amyloid/tau pathology labels and longitudinal cognition models.
