The debate supports carrying forward APOE4 lipid dysregulation and synaptic phagocytosis as early drivers of AD pathology only if a proximal endpoint changes before the late outcome. The decisive validation path is: compare APOE4-to-APOE3 correction in neuron-microglia-astrocyte co-cultures with amyloid, lipid, and synapse engulfment readouts.
