# Detailed Scientific Description: Circadian-Synchronized Proteostasis Enhancement ## Molecular Mechanism and Rationale The circadian clock system exerts profound control over cellular proteostasis through coordinate regulation of autophagy, proteasomal degradation, and heat shock protein expression. At the molecular core of this system lies the CLOCK/BMAL1 heterodimer, which functions as the master transcriptional regulator of circadian gene expression. CLOCK (Circadian Locomotor Output Cycle

**SASP-Mediated Complement Cascade Amplification in Alzheimer's Disease** **Overview: Senescence, Inflammation, and Synaptic Loss** Cellular senescence—a state of irreversible growth arrest accompanied by a pro-inflammatory secretome—accumulates dramatically with age and in Alzheimer's disease. Senescent astrocytes and microglia secrete the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), a cocktail of cytokines, chemokines, proteases, and critically, complement cascade initiators including C
