**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The molecular foundation of this therapeutic hypothesis centers on the intricate relationship between TREK-1 potassium channels (encoded by KCNK2) and aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channel polarization in astrocytic endfeet. TREK-1 channels are mechanosensitive, two-pore domain potassium channels that play crucial roles in maintaining astrocyte membrane potential and cellular homeostasis. Under physiological conditions, these channels facilitate potassium efflux...
