Glial Biology

Glial Biology enters the Adult Cognitive Disease corpus through the work of Brenda Aske (submission 61), and is indexed here as one of the concepts that submission puts to work.

The argument it belongs to

Brenda Aske's submission is summarised in this corpus as:

The CNS Overactive Immuno-Lipometabolism (COIL) hypothesis posits that AD is a metabolic disorder of the glial support system, initiated by lipid dyshomeostasis and propagated by innate immune failure. Lipid-burdened microglia (LDAM phenotype) trigger a glial relay converting astrocytes to neurotoxic A1 phenotype, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of clearance failure.

Where it sits

The submission scores against the framework's convergence nodes as: neuroimmune interface 8 · endosomal nexus 7 · ApoE4 hub 7 · compensatory paradigm 3 · cytoskeletal collapse 1.

Its declared subject matter: lipid-dyshomeostasis, neuroinflammation, microglia, astrocytes, LDAM, glial-relay, innate-immunity, lysosomal-failure, v-ATPase, glymphatic-system.
