Published in Nature Metabolism, the research uncovers how breaking down glycogen-a stored form of glucose-in neurons may protect the brain from toxic protein buildup and degeneration.

New research published in Nature Metabolism has identified a previously underestimated contributor to tau-related neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal ...

Neuronal glycogen breakdown mitigates tauopathy via pentose-phosphate-pathway-mediated oxidative stress reduction. Nature Metabolism, 2025; DOI: 10.1038/s42255-025-01314-w ...

A new technology that uses clinical MRI machines to image metabolic activity in the brain could give researchers and clinicians unique insight into brain function and disease, researchers at the ...

Summary: New research reveals that sugar metabolism in brain cells may be a crucial defense against Alzheimer’s and related dementias. Scientists found that neurons in both flies and human models of ...

That sugar trap turns out to be a big problem. Without the ability to break down glycogen, neurons lose a critical way to manage oxidative stress, a major driver of aging and brain decline. But when ...

This article proposes an effective approach for synthesizing sparse planar arrays using the three-step mapping (TSM) method. By decomposing the array optimization process into three independent steps: ...

The pharmaceutical manufacturing sector is steadily transitioning from batch to continuous operations, as the drawbacks of batch operations and the advantages of continuous operations have ...

The synthesis of platinum nanoparticles (Pt NP) via chemical reduction with ascorbic acid (AA) and kinetic stabilization with the cationic surfactant tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) was ...
