Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
## Mechanistic Overview Complement-Mediated Synaptic Pruning Dysregulation starts from the claim that modulating C1QA within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "**Background and Rationale** Synaptic pruning, the selective elimination of synaptic connections, is a fundamental neurodevelopmental process that continues throughout life to maintain optimal neural circuit function. The complement cascade, traditionally reco
## Mechanistic Overview SIRT1 (Sirtuin 1), a class III NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase, functions as a master metabolic sensor that couples cellular energy status to transcriptional programs governing longevity and stress resistance. In healthy microglia, SIRT1 maintains cellular homeostasis through deacetylation of key transcriptional regulators including PGC1α, p53, and FOXO transcription factors. During aging, declining NAD+ levels and oxidative stress lead to SIRT1 downregulation, trigge
