The abstract describes gastrosomes as distinct lipid-rich compartments that process neuronal debris, but the specific molecular machinery governing their formation, maturation, and lipid metabolism remains unexplained. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for targeting microglial dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases.
