## Mechanistic Overview Aquaporin-4 Polarization Rescue starts from the claim that modulating AQP4 within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "The aquaporin-4 polarization rescue hypothesis proposes a sophisticated mechanistic framework linking tau pathology to glymphatic dysfunction through strain-specific disruption of astrocytic water channel organization. This hypothesis centers on the differential vulnerability of

## Mechanistic Overview SASP-Driven Aquaporin-4 Dysregulation starts from the claim that modulating AQP4 within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) represents a critical pathophysiological mechanism underlying age-related neurodegeneration through its disruption of the glymphatic clearance system. Senescent astrocytes, which acc
