## **Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The circadian-synchronized LRP1 pathway activation hypothesis exploits the intricate temporal regulation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) and melatonin receptor signaling to enhance therapeutic delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). LRP1, a 600-kDa transmembrane receptor, functions as a critical mediator of receptor-mediated transcytosis at brain endothelial cells, facilitating the transport of large molecules from

**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
