**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The molecular foundation of circadian-gated maresin biosynthesis amplification centers on the intricate interplay between the circadian clock machinery and specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) biosynthesis, specifically targeting the 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12) pathway for maresin 1 (MaR1) production. The circadian clock operates through transcriptional-translational feedback loops involving core clock genes including CLOCK, BMAL1, PER1-3, and CRY1-2, whic

**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
