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.

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 ...

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 ...

Glycogen is a form of glucose that helps regulate your blood sugar levels. Your eating and exercise habits play a role in determining your glycogen levels. Glycogen is the stored form of a simple ...

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 ...

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 ...

Glycogen has been linked to diverse processes, the most recent of which is its role in disease progression and ageing. Studies in Caenorhabditis elegans have revealed that high sugar diets which ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising sugar-related mechanism inside brain cells that could transform how we fight Alzheimer’s and other dementias. It turns out neurons don’t just store sugar for ...

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 ...
