CXCL10 Antagonism to Prevent CD8+ T Cell-Mediated White Matter Degeneration ## Overview White matter integrity is essential for cognitive function, enabling rapid signal propagation between brain regions. In aging and neurodegenerative disease, white matter undergoes progressive degradation characterized by myelin loss, axonal degeneration, and microstructural disruption detectable by diffusion tensor MRI. While this white matter pathology has long been attributed to oligodendrocyte dysfunctio

## Molecular Mechanism and Rationale The chemokine CXCL10 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10), also known as interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10), represents a critical molecular nexus in the pathogenesis of white matter degeneration during aging and neurodegeneration. CXCL10 is a 10 kDa protein belonging to the CXC chemokine subfamily, characterized by its ELR-negative motif and high affinity for the CXCR3 receptor. The protein contains a characteristic three-stranded antiparallel β-sheet s
