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 ...

A new study has identified an unexpected contributor to Alzheimer’s disease: glycogen, a complex sugar stored inside brain cells. While traditionally associated with muscles and the liver, glycogen ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
