Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
## Mechanistic Overview TFEB-Independent Autophagy Bypass starts from the claim that modulating ULK1 within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process.

This hypothesis proposes that age-related TREM2 signaling dysfunction drives microglia into a senescent state that fundamentally rewires astrocyte-microglia communication networks, creating a pathological feedback loop in neurodegeneration. Under normal conditions, TREM2/TYROBP signaling maintains microglial homeostasis and supports neuroprotective astrocyte-microglia cross-talk through regulated release of IL-33, lactate, and ATP. However, during aging, accumulated DNA damage and metabolic stre
