Neural activity leads to the mobilization of energy from glycogen in astrocytes. A new paper reports that neurons have an ambivalent relationship with glycogen: they can synthesize it themselves, but ...

Subcellular organization of bacterial cells transitioning from exponential to stationary phase has not been well investigated ...

Glycogen, which serves as a major energy reserve in cells, is a large, branched polymer of glucose molecules. We describe a patient who had muscle weakness, associated with the depletion of glycogen ...

Unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy often prompts the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a sarcomere-protein gene disorder. Because mutations in the gene for AMP-activated protein kinase γ ...

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 ...

The brain has a hidden "sugar code" that could lead to better treatments for neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, according to new research. A study recently published in the journal Nature ...

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.
