Transcription Factor EB Activation Rescues Advanced αB‐Crystallin Mutation‐Induced Cardiomyopathy by Normalizing Desmin Localization

Background Mutations in αB‐crystallin result in proteotoxic cardiomyopathy with desmin mislocalization to protein aggregates. Intermittent fasting (IF) is a novel approach to activate transcription factor EB (TFEB), a master regulator of the autophagy‐lysosomal pathway, in the myocardium. We tested...
