In the established paradigm, microglia are primary drivers of neuroinflammation. However, oligodendrocyte-derived IL-6 may prime microglia through IL-6 trans-signaling (IL-6/sIL-6R/gp130), creating a self-reinforcing inflammatory loop. Blocking soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) specifically at the oligodendrocyte-microglia interface would interrupt this amplification circuit without globally suppressing IL-6, preserving its neuroprotective functions. This extends the SASP-complement cascade concept
# Temporal SPP1 Inhibition During Critical Windows: Mechanistic Framework and Therapeutic Rationale
## Hypothesis Summary
Temporal SPP1 (Secreted Phosphoprotein 1, also known as Osteopontin) neutralization represents a precision-immunology strategy for intercepting neurodegeneration during mechanistically defined disease stages. Rather than continuous suppression of microglial activity, this approach proposes time-restricted blockade of SPP1 signaling through inducible biologics during windows
