**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The nutrient-sensing epigenetic circuit centered on AMPK-SIRT1-PGC1α represents a fundamental regulatory network that governs cellular energy homeostasis and metabolic adaptation. In aging neurons, this circuit becomes progressively silenced through multiple epigenetic modifications, leading to impaired mitochondrial biogenesis, reduced autophagy, and compromised cellular quality control mechanisms. The core hypothesis proposes that targeted epigenetic reac

This hypothesis proposes that targeted epigenetic reactivation of SIRT1 can reverse the age-related senescence transition in microglia that is mediated by TREM2 signaling dysfunction. During aging, TREM2-expressing microglia undergo a pathological transition from neuroprotective to neurotoxic phenotypes, characterized by shortened telomeres, increased DNA damage, and development of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). This TREM2-dependent senescence creates a vulnerable brain envi
