This hypothesis proposes that direct enhancement of PINK1/PARK2-mediated mitophagy in microglia will shift microglial polarization from the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, thereby resolving chronic neuroinflammation through metabolic reprogramming rather than direct inflammasome inhibition. The mechanism centers on mitophagy's role in controlling microglial metabolic state and phenotypic switching. PINK1 (PTEN-induced kinase 1) accumulates on depolarized mito
## Mechanistic Overview
NLRP3/Mitophagy Coupling Modulation starts from the claim that modulating NLRP3 within the disease context of Neuroinflammation can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "# NLRP3/Mitophagy Coupling Modulation in Microglia: A Mechanistic Hypothesis for Neurodegeneration Intervention
## Introduction The pathogenesis of major neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral scle
