Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) serves as the primary maintenance methyltransferase in mammalian cells, responsible for preserving DNA methylation patterns during cell division by adding methyl groups to hemimethylated CpG dinucleotides. In the context of neurodegeneration, DNMT1 dysregulation leads to aberrant hypermethylation of critical neuronal genes, particularly at promoter regions containing CpG islands. This pathological methylation silences neuropr
**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
