G3BP1 initiates granule formation universally, but granule-type-specific scaffold proteins (Ddx6 for P-bodies, FMRP for neuronal granules, TIA1 for stress granules) establish distinct material properties that selectively retain or exclude clients based on their biophysical properties. The skeptic correctly identified that temporal ordering lacks direct experimental support and that P-bodies form independently of G3BP1, suggesting multiple nucleation mechanisms rather than strict hierarchy.

**Background and Rationale** TREM2 variants represent major genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, with loss-of-function mutations increasing dementia risk threefold. While TREM2 is exclusively expressed on microglia, emerging evidence suggests its primary pathogenic role occurs through disrupted astrocyte-microglia communication rather than intrinsic microglial dysfunction. Healthy brain homeostasis depends on coordinated responses between these glial populations, where TREM2+ microglia
