The debate supports treating this as a validation program before ranking it as a therapy. Perturbation should move a proximal molecular phenotype, then a disease-relevant phenotype, in that order.
APOE ε4-driven microglial lipid handling should produce a measurable proximal phenotype before late disease pathology. The decisive test is isogenic APOE3/APOE4 microglia co-cultured with amyloid-bearing neurons, lipidomics, and phagocytosis/degradation assays.
Convergent vs Divergent Predictions
This summary checks where the selected hypotheses point toward the same target or mechanism, and where they pull in opposite directions.
No same-target convergence detected in this selection.
Divergent signals
No direct polarity conflicts detected among the selected hypotheses.
