The Senescence-Associated Epigenetic Phenotype (SEP) is hypothesized to contribute to neurodegeneration, potentially acting as a driver of disease progression. However, recent reappraisals of accelerated aging in neurodegeneration caution that aging signatures may be correlative and conceptually overextended rather than causal drivers (PMID 37887295). In addition, cellular models of aging and senescence exhibit substantial model-dependence, limiting direct inference from a senescence‑associated
