**Background and Rationale** Neurodegeneration is fundamentally linked to metabolic dysfunction, with aging neurons displaying impaired energy homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and reduced cellular resilience. The metabolic decline observed in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis involves compromised oxidative phosphorylation, dysregulated glucose metabolism, and accumulated oxidative damage.

**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
