The skeptic raised evidence that APOE4 carriers show enhanced cholesterol synthesis, suggesting the lipid binding deficit may be compensatory rather than harmful. This fundamental mechanistic question affects all lipid-based therapeutic approaches. Source: Debate session sess_SDA-2026-04-01-gap-auto-fd6b1635d9 (Analysis: SDA-2026-04-01-gap-auto-fd6b1635d9)
