**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The hypothesis centers on a novel mechanistic pathway linking amyloid-β42 (Aβ42) oligomer accumulation to pathological TDP-43 phosphorylation through cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) hyperactivation in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Under physiological conditions, CDK5 associates with its regulatory subunit p35 (encoded by CDK5R1) to maintain normal kinase activity essential for neuronal development, synaptic plasticity, and cytoskeletal dynamics. However, durin
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The proposed mechanism centers on a complex regulatory network involving circPDS5B, miR-497-5p, and TDP-43 (TAR DNA-binding protein 43) in the context of Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. CircPDS5B (hsa_circ_0083342) is a circular RNA derived from the PDS5B gene, which encodes a component of the cohesin complex involved in sister chromatid cohesion and gene regulation. This circRNA functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) that sequesters miR-497-5p,
