Description

The study reveals TFEB controls both endocytosis and autophagy through MTORC1 signaling, but doesn’t address what happens when this coordination breaks down in neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding this failure mechanism is critical since autophagy dysfunction is a hallmark of neurodegeneration.
