## **Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The proposed mechanism centers on a catastrophic convergence of lipid homeostasis dysfunction involving two critical genetic variants: TREM2 R47H and APOE4. TREM2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2) functions as a pattern recognition receptor primarily expressed on microglia, binding phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and other lipid ligands exposed on apoptotic cells and myelin debris. The R47H variant, located in the immunoglo
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The molecular basis for selective liver X receptor beta (LXRβ/NR1H2) agonism in Alzheimer's disease centers on the restoration of impaired cholesterol homeostasis in APOE4-expressing astrocytes. LXRβ functions as a ligand-activated transcription factor belonging to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily, forming obligate heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXR) to regulate lipid metabolism genes. Upon activation by endogenous oxysterol ligands or synt
