## Temporal CAG Repeat Stabilization via CRISPR-Mediated DNA Mismatch Repair Modulation ### Mechanistic Hypothesis Overview The "Temporal CAG Repeat Stabilization via CRISPR-Mediated DNA Mismatch Repair Modulation" hypothesis addresses the fundamental molecular mechanism underlying Huntington's disease and certain ALS/FTD syndromes: the progressive expansion of unstable CAG triplet repeats in specific genes (HTT in HD, ATXN2/ATXN1/ATXN7 in spinocerebellar ataxias, C9orf72 in ALS/FTD).

**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
