Dissent: the source evidence does not yet prove causality, and in-vitro condensate rules may not transfer cleanly to crowded, stressed patient neurons. The next step is time-resolved iPSC motor-neuron perturbations combining RNA stoichiometry, PTM mapping, live-cell condensate tracking, and cryo-electron tomography."
