Mechanistic description

The debate supports treating this as a validation program before ranking it as a therapy. Perturbation should move a proximal molecular phenotype, then a disease-relevant phenotype, in that order.

Mechanism / pathway

ALS
→
neurodegeneration

Evidence for (1)

The proposed priority experiment is concrete: myeloid-specific CCR2 blockade with fast/slow motor-unit stratification and NMJ integrity measurements

Evidence against (1)

Therapeutic tractability is not established by the current source evidence.
