## Molecular Mechanism and Rationale
The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway represents a fundamental innate immune sensing mechanism that has emerged as a critical driver of age-related neurodegeneration. This cytosolic DNA sensing cascade, originally characterized for its role in detecting viral and bacterial nucleic acids, becomes aberrantly activated during aging due to accumulating cellular damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. The molecular ar
## 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
