Systemic circulating factors governing neurodegeneration

Systemic circulating factors governing neurodegeneration enters the Adult Cognitive Disease corpus through the work of Richard Lathe (submission 43), and is indexed here as one of the concepts that submission puts to work.

The argument it belongs to

Richard Lathe's submission is summarised in this corpus as:

Alzheimer's disease is fundamentally a disease of aging, driven by a circavital clock located in the limbic brain (hippocampus and hypothalamus) that orchestrates programmed systemic changes throughout the lifespan via the immune system. Aging is programmed and governed by circulating factors including FGFs, KLOTHO, TGF-beta family members, and CCL chemokines, with immunosenescence as the central mechanism linking the aging clock to neurodegeneration.

Where it sits

The submission scores against the framework's convergence nodes as: neuroimmune interface 7 · compensatory paradigm 4 · ApoE4 hub 3 · transcriptional / epigenetic 3 · endosomal nexus 1.

Its declared subject matter: aging, circavital clock, immunosenescence, KLOTHO, FGF signaling, hippocampus, programmed aging, parabiosis.

Named by the same submission

3 other concepts enter the corpus through the same paper, so they cover adjacent ground: Immunosenescence as central aging mechanism · Limbic brain as circavital clock locus · Programmed aging clock model of AD.

Assembled from the corpus rather than written: the summary is quoted from the submission that named it; the node scores are read from its dossier. It has not yet been expanded into an article.
