## Mechanistic Overview
Calcineurin-FUNDC1 Axis as a Master Switch for Mitophagy vs. Apoptotic Cell Death starts from the claim that modulating PPP3CA (Calcineurin A) within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## Mechanistic Overview Calcineurin-FUNDC1 Axis as a Master Switch for Mitophagy vs. Apoptotic Cell Death rests on the following mechanistic claim: In neurons experiencing mitochondrial stress, sustained Ca²⁺ el
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The TREM2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2) signaling cascade represents a critical convergence point where microglial phagocytic responses intersect with neuronal mitochondrial quality control mechanisms. TREM2, a transmembrane glycoprotein predominantly expressed on microglia and macrophages, functions as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) receptor that recognizes phosphatidylserine (PS) exposed on damaged cellular membranes, in
