## Oligodendrocyte Remyelination Enhancement ### Mechanistic Hypothesis Overview This hypothesis proposes a disease-modifying strategy centered on **Oligodendrocyte Remyelination Enhancement** as a mechanistic intervention point in neurodegeneration. The core claim is that the biological process represented by oligodendrocyte remyelination enhancement is not a passive disease byproduct, but a functional bottleneck that shapes how quickly neurons lose homeostasis under chronic stress. In this f

**Background and Rationale** Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) represents one of the most significant genetic risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, with rare loss-of-function variants conferring up to threefold increased risk of dementia. This single-pass transmembrane receptor, exclusively expressed on microglia within the brain, has emerged as a critical regulator of microglial phenotype and function throughout the lifespan. Under physiological conditions, TR
