HBsAg–TBK1 Control of Interferon and Autophagy
2026-08-14
The reference study identifies a mechanism by which hepatitis B surface antigen redirects TBK1 signaling away from IRF3-dependent type I interferon production and toward incomplete autophagy. Its combination of molecular interaction studies, pharmacologic perturbation, animal models, and patient tissues links HBsAg-driven immune suppression with HBV persistence.

NMDAR–Connexin Signaling in TMJ Inflammatory Pain
2026-08-13
This study identifies a mechanistic connection between GluN2A/GluN2B-containing NMDARs and connexin- or pannexin-mediated communication in the trigeminal ganglion during TMJ inflammation. Its genetic, behavioral, cellular, and signaling data indicate that the two NMDAR subunits contribute differently to peripheral sensitization and may provide distinct targets for orofacial inflammatory pain research.
