Hypothesis
Compensatory Cytokine Network Activation
In AD, blocking TNF-α/IL-6 triggers compensatory upregulation of alternative inflammatory cascades (IL-1β, NLRP3) that don't exist in cardiovascular disease.

🧪 Overview
In AD, blocking TNF-α/IL-6 triggers compensatory upregulation of alternative inflammatory cascades (IL-1β, NLRP3) that don't exist in cardiovascular disease. This creates therapeutic resistance unique to neuroinflammation.
