**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) represents a critical gateway for iron transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and serves as an exceptional target for therapeutic delivery to the central nervous system. TfR1 is a homodimeric type II transmembrane glycoprotein composed of two 90-kDa subunits linked by disulfide bonds, with each subunit containing 760 amino acids. The receptor exhibits high expression on brain capillary endothelial cells, making it a

**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
