**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The mitochondrial RNA granule rescue pathway represents a novel therapeutic approach targeting the fundamental disruption of mitochondrial RNA transport and local translation that occurs across multiple neurodegenerative diseases. The central mechanism revolves around SYNCRIP (Synaptotagmin Binding Cytoplasmic RNA Interacting Protein), a heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) that serves as a critical regulator of mitochondrial RNA granule dynamics

**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
