Description
The study identifies upregulated endomembrane system organization proteins in MCI-A(-) and AD but provides no mechanistic explanation for why this pathway is specifically activated in amyloid-positive states. Understanding this mechanism could reveal how peripheral amyloid pathology manifests in platelets and inform biomarker development.
