Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
**Background and Rationale** Neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) represent a growing global health crisis, with limited therapeutic options addressing their underlying pathological mechanisms. A critical but underexploited therapeutic target lies in the brain's unique cholesterol metabolism system, which operates independently from peripheral cholesterol homeostasis due to blood-brain barrier impermeabi
**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
