## **Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) represents a critical immunoreceptor that orchestrates microglial activation and survival in the central nervous system. TREM2 is a single-pass transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily, expressed exclusively on microglia within the brain parenchyma. Upon ligand binding, TREM2 associates with the DNAX-activating protein of 12 kDa (DAP12) adaptor protein through char
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene encodes a 299-amino acid glycoprotein that serves as the primary cholesterol carrier in the central nervous system, facilitating lipid transport between neurons and glial cells through interaction with low-density lipoprotein receptor family members including LDLR, LRP1, and VLDLR. The APOE4 isoform differs from the protective APOE3 variant by a single amino acid substitution (Cys112→Arg), which disrupts the protein's tertia
