Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
**Background and Rationale** The gut-brain axis has emerged as a critical bidirectional communication pathway that significantly influences neurological health and disease progression. In Parkinson's disease (PD), mounting evidence suggests that the enteric nervous system and gut microbiome play fundamental roles in both disease initiation and progression. The discovery that certain gut bacteria can synthesize, metabolize, and respond to neurotransmitters, including dopamine, has opened new ave
**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
