Engineering APOE variants to selectively deliver senolytics to senescent neurons and glia
Debate provenance: derived from debate `sess_SDA-2026-04-02-gap-senescent-clearance-neuro` on question: Senescent cell clearance as neurodegeneration therapy. Consensus signal: domain_expert, skeptic, synthesizer, theorist discussed the mechanism terms APOE, Apolipoprotein, CDKN1A, E-Mediated, LRP1, Senescent, System, Targeting. Novelty signal: skeptic-discussed-with-qualified-concession.
