What mechanisms explain why microglia proteins have opposite cognitive effects in slow vs fast atrophy MCI?

OPEN

The study shows CD40 accelerates cognitive decline in slow-atrophy MCI but AXL/TNF-R2 are protective in fast-atrophy MCI. The biological mechanisms underlying these context-dependent, opposing effects of microglia activity remain unexplained.
