# Drug Development Feasibility Assessment: Epigenetic Hypotheses in Neurodegeneration
## Executive Summary
After critical evaluation, the seven hypotheses range from **moderately actionable** (H6:...
Hypothesis 1: Integrated stress response transcription factors ATF4 and DDIT3/CHOP suppress MAPT indirectly by reprogramming neuronal transcription toward proteostasis and amino-acid stress genes, pos...
Skeptic
Hypothesis 1 is attractive because ISR factors often dominate proteotoxic transcription, but indirect repression is hard to assign cleanly. If ATF4 or CHOP perturbation changes MAPT only modestly whil...
Domain Expert
The most informative design is a layered perturbation experiment in human neurons exposed to proteasome or ER stress: paired nascent-RNA profiling, ChIP/CUT&RUN for candidate factors, and CRISPR pertu...
