**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The blood-brain barrier (BBB) represents one of the most formidable obstacles in treating neurodegenerative diseases, with tight junctions formed by specialized proteins creating an impermeable seal between brain endothelial cells. The proposed piezoelectric nanochannel system targets two critical tight junction proteins: claudin-5 (CLDN5) and occludin (OCLN), which are fundamental components maintaining BBB integrity. CLDN5, a 23-kDa transmembrane protein,

**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
