## Mechanistic Overview
Selective cathepsin B inhibition prevents cathepsin leakage-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation without impairing normal proteolysis starts from the claim that modulating CTSB within the disease context of neuroscience can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## Mechanistic Overview Selective cathepsin B inhibition prevents cathepsin leakage-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation without impairing normal proteolysis starts from the clai
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The transcription factor EB (TFEB) represents a master regulatory node in cellular proteostasis, functioning as the primary coordinator of the Coordinated Lysosomal Expression and Regulation (CLEAR) network. This helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor orchestrates the expression of over 500 genes involved in lysosomal biogenesis, autophagy, and cellular clearance mechanisms. In Alzheimer's disease (AD), the progressive accumulation of amyloid-
