2	What molecular mechanisms link glucocorticoid exposure to TREK-1 transcriptiona… The study shows dexamethasone suppresses Kcnk2 (TREK-1) expression and causes cellular depolarization, but the intermediate signaling pathways are not identifie… gap-pubmed-20260410-143802-48895a00	open	0.840	molecular neurobiology	2026-04-10	Open →
3	Which downstream TREM2 signaling pathways should be selectively modulated for t… While TREM2's importance is established, the debate reveals uncertainty about which specific downstream effectors to target. This mechanistic gap limits develop… gap-debate-20260410-112636-3668760a	open	0.750	molecular neurobiology	2026-04-10	Open →
4	Which specific N-glycosylation sites on SV2A are functionally critical for syna… The debate proposed Asn458/579 as key sites but lacked validation that these specific residues control SNARE complex interactions in mammalian neurons.
