DGLA–ACSL4 Ferroptosis in AML Cells
2026-08-10
The reference study identifies dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA) as a lipid-metabolic trigger of ferroptosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells and positions ACSL4 as a critical mediator of this response. Its combined metabolomics, genetic, cellular, and in vivo design provides a mechanistic framework for exploiting ferroptosis when apoptosis-based treatment is limited by resistance.

HBsAg–TBK1 Crosstalk in HBV Immune Evasion
2026-08-09
A 2025 Cell Death and Disease study identifies hepatitis B surface antigen as a regulator that redirects TBK1 activity away from IRF3-dependent interferon signaling and toward p62-associated autophagy. Its integrated cellular, animal, and human-tissue evidence suggests that HBsAg promotes incomplete autophagy while supporting HBV replication, clarifying a mechanism of innate immune evasion.
