Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) isoform represents the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, carried by approximately 25% of the population and conferring a 3-4 fold increased risk compared to the protective APOE3 variant. The fundamental pathogenic mechanism underlying APOE4's deleterious effects stems from a critical structural vulnerability: an aberrant domain interaction between the N-terminal (residues 1-165) and C-terminal (r
**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
