The Sequestration Response: Reinterpreting Aฮฒ and tau as conserved, compartment-specific innate immune barriersโan extracellular “sarcophagus” and an intracellular “lockbox.”
The Synthetic Trigger: How pervasive, indestructible environmental nanoplastics (NPs) act as permanent nucleation seeds, hijacking these responses into an indigestible synthetic protein complex.
Immune Frustration & Progression: Chronic microglial engagement triggers NLRP3 inflammasome activation, leading to pyroptotic cell death. This lytic release distributes intact synthetic seeds via glymphatic flow, physically obstructing clearance and driving Braak stage progression.
Therapeutic Relevance:
The DSH offers a structural explanation for the therapeutic failure of anti-Aฮฒ/anti-tau antibodies (removing the biological barrier but leaving the synthetic core) and frames amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) as an inflammatory rebound.
The paper calls for a necessary paradigm shift in neuropathological practiceโspecifically, utilizing novel detection techniques to visualize the predicted synthetic NP cores within classical lesions.
