**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The proposed therapeutic strategy exploits the complementary relationship between chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) and macroautophagy to address the progressive accumulation of pathological tau species that characterizes tauopathies including Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, and frontotemporal dementia. At the molecular level, this approach centers on the coordinated upregulation of transcription factor EB (TFEB), lysosome-associated m

**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The therapeutic hypothesis centers on the kinetic constraints governing chaperone-mediated protein disaggregation, specifically targeting the Hsp70/DNAJB1 (Hsp40) chaperone system's interaction with pathological protein seeds. At the molecular level, this mechanism involves the highly conserved Hsp70 ATPase cycle, where ATP binding induces conformational changes in the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) that modulate substrate affinity in the substrate-binding
