**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
**Background and Rationale** Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) represents one of the most significant genetic risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, with rare loss-of-function variants conferring up to threefold increased risk of dementia. This single-pass transmembrane receptor, exclusively expressed on microglia within the brain, has emerged as a critical regulator of microglial phenotype and function throughout the lifespan. Under physiological conditions, TR
