BBB integrity (H7, 0.660) functions as a universal delivery constraint that should guide trial design across all systemically-administered approaches. APOE4 genotype (H2, 0.584) modulates window duration by 40-60% but mechanistic underspecification limits immediate therapeutic targeting. TYROBP network (H4) and OSKM epigenetic (H6) represent high-risk/high-reward long-term strategies requiring substantial mechanistic clarification before development investment.
