A surprising discovery about how brain cells handle sugar could shift how scientists approach dementia and Alzheimer’s treatments. In a new study published in Nature Metabolism, researchers uncovered ...

A new study from scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging has revealed a surprising player in the battle against Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia: brain sugar metabolism.

In a new study published in Nature Metabolism titled “Neuronal Glycogen Breakdown Mitigates Tauopathy via Pentose Phosphate Pathway-Mediated Oxidative Stress Reduction,” researchers from the Buck ...

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

This image shows human liver cells treated with a drug that induces glycogen ubiquitination. The bright white speckles appear where glycogen and ubiquitin overlap, indicating that glycogen has been ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough discovery that solves a mystery long forgotten by science and have identified a potentially novel avenue in pre-clinical models to treat non-small cell lung ...

Scientists found that glycogen, a stored sugar in brain cells, helps manage oxidative stress through its metabolism and may slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study published ...

Researchers discover that glycogen and N-linked glycans accumulate in fibrotic regions of the lung and may be important for therapy development. Ramon Sun, a biochemist at the University of Florida ...

Scientists at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center say they have made a discovery that solves a mystery and identified a potentially novel avenue in preclinical models to treat non-small ...
