Age-related decline in chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) contributes to the selective accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau species in Alzheimer's disease, particularly in cortical and hippocampal neurons where CMA dysfunction precedes amyloid pathology. This hypothesis proposes that targeted upregulation of LAMP2A (Lysosome Associated Membrane Protein 2A) can restore selective protein degradation capacity specifically for tau clearance in Alzheimer's disease-affected neurons. LAMP2A serves a
