restoration hypotheses, with temporal cytokine window intervention (Hypothesis 5) emerging as the most promising approach. This hypothesis achieves the highest composite score (0.815) due to exceptional feasibility scores driven by the availability of approved drugs (anakinra for IL-1β blockade, existing Wnt modulators), established safety profiles, and a clear 4-6 year development timeline with reasonable costs ($150-300M). The sequential dosing strategy leveraging the inflammatory-to-regenerative transition represents a novel yet clinically implementable approach, supported by strong epidemiological evidence showing inflammatory biomarkers precede dementia by years and anti-inflammatory interventions reducing dementia risk by 80% in longitudinal studies.\\n\\nThe peripheral-to-central inflammatory relay disruption (Hypothesis 3, score 0.700) ranks second, benefiting from epidemiological evidence linking pneumonia to 1.4-1.8 fold increased dementia risk and the availability of approved anti-TNF agents. However, the NETs-MMP-Wnt cascade (Hypothesis 1, score 0.660), despite mechanistic novelty, faces significant feasibility challenges including triple-drug complexity and historical MMP inhibitor failures. The remaining hypotheses score poorly due to fundamental issues: the NF-κB/β-catenin approach poses prohibitive cancer risks from β-catenin activation, endocannabinoid strategies face regulatory skepticism after FAAH inhibitor clinical failures, and both the prophylactic and microglial-endothelial approaches lack existing drug classes and may be based on incorrect biological assumptions. The analysis identifies critical knowledge graph connections, particularly the IL-1β→MMP→tight junction degradation pathway and the competing RELA/CTNNB1 transcriptional dynamics, while highlighting the urgent need for population-level BBB dysfunction measurements to validate the estimated 10-25% population attributable risk.\"\n}\n```",
