Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
**Background and Rationale** The gut-brain axis has emerged as a critical bidirectional communication pathway in neurodegeneration, with mounting evidence suggesting that intestinal dysfunction precedes and contributes to central nervous system pathology. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) represent a class of irreversibly modified proteins and lipids formed through non-enzymatic reactions between reducing sugars and amino groups. These compounds accumulate during aging and are elevated in
**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
