#	Title	Status	Priority	Domain	Created
1	How do oligodendroglia regulate lactate production versus transport to support… While MCT1 transports lactate, the study doesn't clarify whether oligodendroglia primarily produce lactate for axons or transport it from other sources. This di… gap-pubmed-20260410-170325-ee17bf2c	open	0.830	cellular metabolism	2026-04-10	Open →
2	What is the molecular mechanism by which amino acids recruit TBK1 to lysosomes? The study shows TBK1 is recruited to lysosomes in response to elevated amino acids but doesn't explain the sensing mechanism or signaling pathway. Understanding… gap-pubmed-20260411-065807-ea483a68	open	0.800	cellular metabolism	2026-04-11	Open →
3	How do bioenergetic checkpoints (ATP/ADP ratios) mechanistically control astroc… The synthesizer proposed bioenergetic control as the top hypothesis but the debate lacks mechanistic details on how metabolic sensors translate energy states in… gap-debate-20260410-100422-5158d7cd	open	0.780	cellular metabolism	2026-04-10	Open →
4	How do cell-type-specific metabolic reprogramming mechanisms differ between ast… The debate noted cell-type specificity gaps but didn't resolve whether astrocytes undergo unique metabolic changes compared to microglia or oligodendrocytes. Un… gap-debate-20260410-112330-2c121be7	open	0.750	cellular metabolism	2026-04-10	Open →
5	What are the specific molecular mechanisms by which mitochondrial dysfunction d… The abstract states that mitochondrial dysfunction alters the balance between osteogenesis and osteoclast activity under pathological conditions, but the precis… gap-pubmed-20260410-173057-0d6103ae	open	0.600	cellular metabolism	2026-04-10	Open →
