TNFSF10 and metabolic disease: Although the existing evidence is encouraging and paves the way for investigating TRAIL-related interventions in diabetic patients with cardiometabolic abnormalities, caution is warranted in the extrapolation of animal and in vitro data to the clinical setting, and further research in humans is imperative in order to uncover all aspects of the TRAIL-diabetes relationship and delineate its therapeutic implications in metabolic disease.
