Trained Immunity

Trained Immunity enters the Adult Cognitive Disease corpus through the work of Charles Greenblatt (submission 66), and is indexed here as one of the concepts that submission puts to work.

The argument it belongs to

Charles Greenblatt's submission is summarised in this corpus as:

BCG vaccination confers protection against Alzheimer's disease via trained innate immunity and a systemic metabolic shift toward aerobic glycolysis. The glycolytic switch recruits Aldolase A to scaffold v-ATPase reassembly on lysosomal membranes, restoring acidification and autophagic flux, while LL-37 and Vitamin D pathways provide direct anti-amyloid and immunomodulatory effects.

The source paper puts the concept to work directly:

Activation of Innate Trained Immunity BCG changes the immune system to respond in a non-specific way both at the level of innate immunity, as well as at the level of heterologous Th1/Th17 responses.

Where it sits

The submission scores against the framework's convergence nodes as: endosomal nexus 7 · neuroimmune interface 7 · transcriptional / epigenetic 6 · compensatory paradigm 3 · ApoE4 hub 1.
