**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The cGAS-STING (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase - stimulator of interferon genes) pathway represents a fundamental innate immune sensing mechanism that detects cytosolic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and initiates inflammatory responses. In the context of tauopathies, hyperphosphorylated tau protein disrupts mitochondrial integrity through multiple mechanisms, leading to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release into the cytoplasm where it acts as a damage-associated molecul

**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The pathogenesis of frontotemporal dementia with GRN mutations (FTD-GRN) involves a complex interplay between progranulin haploinsufficiency and disrupted astrocyte-neuron metabolic coupling. Progranulin (PGRN), encoded by the GRN gene, is a secreted glycoprotein that plays crucial roles in neuroinflammation, lysosomal function, and cellular metabolism. In FTD-GRN, heterozygous loss-of-function mutations result in ~50% reduction in progranulin levels, trigg
