Using fruit flies as a model, researchers found that disrupted glucose metabolism in glial cells can worsen inflammation and damage to neurons triggered by the accumulation of tau protein.

Their findings, published in the May 7, 2008 issue of Cell Metabolism, shows that the same genetic switch that revs up glucose production in human livers during lean times serves as a key ...

Researchers have uncovered how the breakdown of glycogen may protect the brain from neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's.

The Mattila lab is driven by curiosity to use quantitative data for uncovering processes linking metabolism and signaling in complex systems. As an in vivo model for metabolic and physiological ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that impaired glucose metabolism in glial cells, a type of cell in our nervous system, plays a key role in the degeneration caused by ...
