# Epigenetic Reprogramming of Microglial Memory: A Novel Approach to Preventing Neurodegeneration ## Scientific Background Neuroinflammation represents a critical pathological hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases, with microglia—the resident immune cells of the central nervous system—emerging as central orchestrators of this process. Microglial activation is characterized not merely by acute inflammatory responses but by the establishment of a persistent pathological memory state that perp

## 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
