Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** Flotillin-1 (FLOT1) is a 47-kDa scaffolding protein that plays a crucial role in organizing lipid raft microdomains within neuronal membranes, particularly at synaptic terminals where it facilitates proper protein clustering and signal transduction. The protein contains a prohibitin homology (PHB) domain and a flotillin domain, which together enable its association with cholesterol-rich membrane regions and its oligomerization into higher-order complexes. I
**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
