The gap can be tested by treating age-linked CpG drift as an upstream driver rather than a passive correlate. If true, perturbing locus-specific epigenome editing should shift cell-sorted methylomes before downstream neurodegeneration markers change.
A longitudinal biomarker panel centered on ATAC-seq accessibility can distinguish harmful mechanisms from protective adaptation. The decisive experiment is to measure ATAC-seq accessibility before and after senescence stratification in stratified models.
