💊 #NTUsg scientists may have found a way to spur brain immune cells into clearing toxic waste linked to #Alzheimers disease. This breakthrough could provide new possibilities for developing new drugs targeted at Alzheimer's disease. @NTU_LKCMedicine bit.ly/NTUsg-metabolicswitch

Study shows new way to spur brain #immunecells to clear toxic waste linked to #Alzheimer'sdisease @PNASNews doi.org/grtbjj medicalxpress.com/news/2023-…
To restore the immune cells’ clean-up function 🧹, we “switched off” glycolytic metabolism by removing hexokinase-2 bound to the mitochondria.
This spurred microglia to gobble up 🍽️ toxic proteins that can build up in the brain 🧠 leading to Alzheimer’s.
