**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The nucleolus represents a critical subnuclear compartment where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcription, processing, and ribosome assembly occur. In neurodegenerative diseases, RNA-binding protein (RBP) dysfunction triggers a cascade of molecular events that disrupts nucleolar homeostasis, leading to impaired protein synthesis and ultimately neuronal death. The nucleolar stress response (NSR) serves as a cellular surveillance mechanism activated when ribosome b

**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
