New research sheds light on how healthy neurons metabolize glucose, offering clues to neurodegenerative diseases: 'We have a much better understanding of the basic fuel that makes neurons run'
New research by Gladstone Institutes and UC San Francisco reveals how neurons metabolize glucose, challenging previous beliefs. Neurons can take up and process glucose themselves, relying on glycolysis for normal functioning. These findings have implications for understanding neurodegenerative diseases.
