The study identifies KCNJ2 as a therapeutic target through CRISPR screening but doesn't explain the mechanistic pathway by which this mechanosensory channel inhibition reduces neuronal death and proteinopathy. Understanding this mechanism is critical for rational drug development and predicting off-target effects.
