Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
**Background and Rationale** Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system, play critical roles in maintaining brain homeostasis through synaptic pruning, debris clearance, and neuronal support. During aging and neurodegenerative diseases, microglia undergo phenotypic changes characterized by cellular senescence, altered morphology, and dysregulated synaptic pruning that contributes to cognitive decline. Profilin-1 (PFN1), encoded by the PFN1 gene, is a small actin-binding
**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
