Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
## Mechanistic Overview Cardiovascular-Neuroinflammatory Dual Targeting starts from the claim that modulating TNF/IL6 within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process.

## Molecular Mechanism and Rationale The microbiota-microglia axis represents a sophisticated bidirectional communication network that fundamentally influences neuroinflammatory processes and microglial phenotypic states. This therapeutic approach targets the transition from homeostatic microglia to disease-associated microglia (DAM) through precision modulation of gut-derived metabolites and their downstream signaling cascades. The molecular foundation of this strategy centers on the recogniti
