Mechanistic description

A selective C1q inhibitor that only blocks pathological complement tagging while preserving physiological pruning could maintain cognitive synapses through targeting disease-specific conformational changes or co-localization patterns with amyloid.

Debate provenance: derived from debate sess_sda-2026-04-01-gap-v2-691b42f1 on question: Synaptic pruning by microglia in early AD. Consensus signal: domain_expert, skeptic, synthesizer, theorist discussed the mechanism terms Blockade, C1QA, Complement, Prevention, Pruning, Selective. Novelty signal: skeptic-discussed-with-qualified-concession.
