Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging studying the role of glial glucose transporters in aging and Alzheimer's disease, aiming to understand metabolic links and develop therapies for cognitive decline.
Description
The project focuses on links between circulating glucose metabolism and age-related processes in brain support cells, with implications for Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. The study involves genetic modification of mice and analysis of glucose transport proteins. The project is funded by the NIH/NIA and is part of a research effort to understand and develop therapeutic strategies for age-related cognitive decline.
