c-Abl/TFEB Pathway Activation as a Common Pathogenic Mechanism in Lysosomal Storage Diseases: Therapeutic Potential of c-Abl Inhibitors

Antioxidants
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are characterized by the accumulation of undegraded substrates within lysosomes, often associated with oxidative stress and impaired lysosomal function. In this study, we investigate the role of the c-Abl/TFEB pathway in
