**Background and Rationale** Mitochondrial dysfunction represents a central pathological hallmark across neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The maintenance of healthy mitochondrial networks depends critically on dynamic processes including biogenesis, fusion, fission, mitophagy, and crucially, intracellular trafficking. Miro1 (Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 1), encoded by the RHOT1 gene, serves

**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
