Description

Targeting the NAMPT-NAD+-SIRT1 Axis to Disrupt SASP-Mediated Complement Cascade Amplification. The NAMPT-mediated NAD+ salvage pathway directly controls SIRT1 deacetylase activity, which in turn regulates NFKB1 acetylation status and downstream SASP cytokine production including IL1B. By enhancing NAMPT activity or SIRT1 function, we can suppress the SASP-driven complement C1Q/C3 amplification that mediates synaptic loss.

Dimension Scores

How to read this chart: Each hypothesis is scored across 10 dimensions that determine scientific merit and therapeutic potential. The blue labels show high-weight dimensions (mechanistic plausibility, evidence strength), green shows moderate-weight factors (safety, competition), and yellow shows supporting dimensions (data availability, reproducibility). Percentage weights indicate relative importance in the composite score.
