## Mechanistic Overview The Mitochondrial-Lysosomal Metabolic Coupling Dysfunction starts from the claim that modulating TFEB within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "**Background and Rationale** The cellular quality control system represents one of the most critical determinants of neuronal survival and longevity. Among the key players in this system, the transcription factor EB (TFEB) has emerged as a master regul
