Glycogen-Dependent Metabolic Reprogramming Regulates Microglial Activation and Dysfunction in Neurodegenerative Disease

Hannah McAlister, Heather J. Merchant, Verity F. T. Mitchener…·Amy F. Lloyd

This study identifies glycogen metabolism as a key regulator of microglial function in Alzheimer's disease, showing that glycogenolysis drives microglial activation and that inhibiting it reduces Abeta uptake and functional impairment.
