When lactate speaks: Rewiring astrocyte-neuron metabolism in Alzheimer's disease

2 weeks 3 days ago
Metabolic dysfunction is a defining but poorly understood feature of Alzheimer's disease. Du et al. show that a brain-penetrant GLP-1 receptor agonist rewires astrocyte-neuron metabolic coupling through lactate-driven histone lactylation, linking astrocytic glycolysis to neuronal lipid homeostasis and positioning metabolite signaling as a therapeutic axis in neurodegeneration.

How do energy metabolism disorders and neuroinflammation collectively contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease?

2 weeks 3 days ago
Alzheimer's disease (AD), as the leading cause of dementia, poses an increasingly severe socioeconomic burden in the context of global ageing. Traditionally defined by amyloid-β and tau pathology, it's increasingly recognized as a systems disorder in which impaired glucose metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation interact across neural cell types and disease stages. However, the interaction among these three mechanisms, their role in promoting the classical pathology of AD,...
