Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
**Membrane Cholesterol Gradient Modulators: Precision Lipid Therapeutics** **Overview and Conceptual Innovation** Membrane cholesterol distribution is not uniform across neuronal compartments. Lipid rafts at synaptic terminals contain 40-50% cholesterol, while non-raft membrane regions contain 20-30%. This cholesterol gradient is essential for proper receptor clustering, signal transduction, and neurotransmitter release. In Alzheimer's disease, this gradient becomes dysregulated: amyloidogenic
**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
