What mechanisms drive the overlap between PTSD biomarker patterns and neurodegenerative disease pathways?

OPEN

The abstract notes that PTSD biomarkers 'often overlap with mechanisms observed in neurodegenerative disorders' but doesn't explain why stress-related injury produces similar molecular signatures to chronic neurodegeneration. Understanding this convergence could reveal shared therapeutic targets.
