Single-cell analysis showed significant time-dependent regulation of HK2 in microglia, while spatial transcriptomics uncovered synchronized alterations of HK2, HSPA5, and TNF in perihematomal regions at day 7. Cell communication analysis highlighted enhanced microglia-to-neutrophil signaling via Tnf-Tnfrsf1b pairs, with TNF signaling identified as the most significantly upregulated pathway in ICH conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our multi-omics approach reveals coordinated dysregulation of glucose metabolism and inflammatory genes following ICH, with time-dependent HK2 regulation in microglia and synchronized transcriptional changes at day 7 representing critical events in neuroinflammatory progression.
