The study shows trehalose causes lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) that paradoxically enhances autophagy rather than causing cytotoxicity. The molecular mechanisms preventing LMP-induced apoptosis while promoting beneficial autophagy remain unclear, which is critical for therapeutic safety.
