Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
**Mechanistic Foundation** Gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids that constitute 5-10% of the lipid mass in neuronal membranes, where they serve critical roles in membrane organization, receptor signaling, and neuroprotection. Different ganglioside species (GM1, GD1a, GD1b, GT1b, etc.) create distinct membrane microdomains that regulate synaptic plasticity, calcium signaling, and neurotrophic factor responses. The ganglioside composition of neurons is precisely regulated du
**SASP-Mediated Complement Cascade Amplification in Alzheimer's Disease** **Overview: Senescence, Inflammation, and Synaptic Loss** Cellular senescence—a state of irreversible growth arrest accompanied by a pro-inflammatory secretome—accumulates dramatically with age and in Alzheimer's disease. Senescent astrocytes and microglia secrete the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), a cocktail of cytokines, chemokines, proteases, and critically, complement cascade initiators including C
