"synthesis_summary": "Consensus: Biophysical Determinants Shifting FUS/TDP-43 Phase Separation to Pathological Aggregates is a valid debate target because it is anchored to Fundamental Aspects of Phase-Separated Biomolecular Condensates and asks a falsifiable question about RNA-binding protein condensate maturation from reversible phase separation to amyloid-like aggregation. 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."
