TREM2 agonism restores age-impaired SYK signaling for OxPC clearance. Upon OxPC exposure, TREM2 engagement activates TYROBP (DAP12)-mediated SYK recruitment, driving phosphoinositide signaling required for phagosome maturation and lysosomal degradation of OxPC-containing membranes. Age-dependent decline in microglial neuroprotection results from impaired TREM2-SYK cascades due to reduced surface expression and disrupted Vps35-dependent TREM2 recycling.

# 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
