TBK1, Microglial Pyroptosis, and Diabetic Neuropathy
2026-08-24
Liao et al. identify TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) as a mechanistic driver of painful diabetic neuropathy by linking its activation in spinal microglia to NF-κB signaling, NLRP3 inflammasome activity, and pyroptosis. Their combination of genetic knockdown, pharmacological inhibition, behavioral testing, and tissue profiling provides a framework for studying neuroinflammation as a therapeutic axis in diabetic pain.

Drug-Sensitized Yeast for mTOR Inhibitor Discovery
2026-08-24
Breen and colleagues developed a genetically drug-sensitized Saccharomyces cerevisiae platform that detects TOR inhibitors at substantially lower concentrations than a wild-type yeast background. The system identified concentration-dependent activity for established inhibitors and aminophylline, while finding no evidence of TOR inhibition for several tested compounds, including nebivolol, illustrating both the platform’s screening value and its assay-specific limitations.
