## Mechanistic Overview HK2-Dependent Metabolic Checkpoint as the Gatekeeper of DAM Transition starts from the claim that modulating HK2 within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** Hexokinase 2 (HK2) represents a critical metabolic enzyme that catalyzes the first rate-limiting step of glycolysis, phosphorylating glucose to glucose-6-phosphate while simultaneously occupying a unique

## Mechanistic Overview The therapeutic hypothesis centers on the critical role of interferon-gamma (IFNγ), encoded by *IFNG*, in orchestrating microglial metabolic reprogramming and functional state transitions during neurodegeneration. IFNγ exerts its effects through binding to the heterodimeric IFNγ receptor (IFNGR1/IFNGR2), triggering JAK1/JAK2 phosphorylation and subsequent STAT1 activation, initiating transcriptional programs that fundamentally alter microglial bioenergetics and inflammat
