## Mechanistic Overview
TAM Receptor (MERTK/AXL) Cross-Regulation starts from the claim that modulating MERTK, AXL, TYRO3, PROS1 (Protein S), GAS6 within the disease context of neuroinflammation can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## Mechanistic Overview TAM Receptor (MERTK/AXL) Cross-Regulation starts from the claim that modulating MERTK, AXL, TYRO3, PROS1 (Protein S), GAS6 within the disease context of neuroinflammation can redirect a disease-relevant proc
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The molecular mechanism underlying SPP1-TREM2 crosstalk centers on the synergistic activation of microglial phagocytic transcriptional programs through complementary signaling pathways that converge on key transcriptional regulators. TREM2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2) functions as a pattern recognition receptor that signals through its associated adaptor protein DAP12 (DNAX activation protein 12, encoded by TYROBP). Upon engagement wit
