# Ancestry-Adapted Mitochondrial Rescue Therapy: A Population-Specific Approach to Neurodegeneration ## Executive Summary Mitochondrial dysfunction stands as a central pathological hallmark across neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. While emerging therapeutic strategies target mitochondrial biogenesis through transcriptional coactivators such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha

**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
