NETs Activate cGAS–STING in Surgical Brain Injury
2026-08-31
A 2024 rat study identifies neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) as upstream drivers of surgical brain injury through activation of the cGAS–STING pathway. NET disruption reduced inflammation, edema, neuronal death, and neurological impairment, while cGAMP restored pathway activity and weakened the protective effect of DNase I.

AMPK–SQSTM1 Feedback Loop in Metabolic Stress
2026-08-29
The 2024 Autophagy study identifies a double-positive feedback loop in which metabolic stress activates SQSTM1/p62 and AMPK, while AMPK activity further increases SQSTM1 expression and phosphorylation. This circuit coordinates KEAP1 degradation, NFE2L2/NRF2 activation, and lysosomal AMPK signaling, clarifying how tumor cells maintain antioxidant capacity during nutrient and oxidative stress.
