The expert confirms these hypotheses occupy intermediate translational readiness—mechanistically compelling but requiring significant experimental derisking before clinical development. All parties agree cross-seeding is biologically plausible but currently缺乏direct mechanistic proof of catalytic versus incidental co-aggregation.\"}",
