**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The hypothesis centers on a cascade of molecular events initiated by cellular senescence and mediated by iron dysregulation and lipid peroxidation. Senescent cells, characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest and identifiable through p16^INK4a expression, undergo fundamental alterations in their iron homeostasis machinery. Specifically, these cells exhibit reduced expression of ferroportin (FPN1/SLC40A1), the sole cellular iron exporter, while maintaining

**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
