# Age-Dependent Complement C4b Upregulation Drives Synaptic Vulnerability in Hippocampal CA1 Neurons ## Background & Rationale Aging is the strongest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, yet the molecular mechanisms linking normal brain aging to neurodegenerative vulnerability remain incompletely understood. Analysis of the Allen Aging Mouse Brain Atlas reveals that complement component C4b undergoes progressive upregulation in hippocampal CA1 neurons bet
**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
