**Background and Rationale** Protein misfolding and aggregation represent a fundamental pathological mechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (tau), Parkinson's disease (α-synuclein), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/frontotemporal dementia (TDP-43). A critical emerging concept is that these pathological proteins can undergo cross-seeding, where aggregates of one protein can template the misfolding and aggregation of heterologous proteins.

**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
