Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
MCT1 disruption creates lactate transport deficiency that depletes axonal NAD+ via SARM1 activation, triggering feed-forward NAD+ destruction analogous to Wallerian degeneration.
**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
