Extracellular Vesicle Transfer of Immunoproteasomes
2026-08-20
A 2026 study provides direct evidence that extracellular vesicles can transmit β5i-containing non-constitutive proteasomes between cells. Its combination of genetically tagged donor cells, orthogonal vesicle characterization, and recipient-cell tracing establishes a new framework for studying proteasome trafficking beyond intracellular degradation.

NET Formation in CML: PAD4 and TKI Effects
2026-08-18
This study shows that neutrophil extracellular trap formation is elevated in chronic myeloid leukemia and is differentially modified by tyrosine kinase inhibitors, with ponatinib producing the strongest pro-NET signal. By combining patient neutrophils with a BCR-ABL1-transduced neutrophil model and pathway inhibitors, the authors link excessive histone citrullination to a possible mechanism of TKI-associated vascular toxicity.

TBK1, Microglial Pyroptosis, and Diabetic Neuropathy
2026-08-14
The reference study identifies TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) as a causal regulator of painful diabetic neuropathy by linking its activation in spinal microglia to NF-κB signaling, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and pyroptosis. Genetic TBK1 silencing and pharmacological inhibition with amlexanox reduced pain-related phenotypes and peripheral nerve injury, highlighting a mechanistically grounded target for diabetes-associated neuroinflammation.
