This NIH grant supports research on how fructose metabolism via GLUT5 affects microglial dysfunction in aging and Alzheimer's disease, aiming to develop genetic tools and test interventions.
Description
The project focuses on the role of fructose metabolism in microglial dysfunction related to Alzheimer's disease. It involves genetic tools development, metabolic reprogramming mechanisms, and intervention testing. The funding agency is the National Institute on Aging, part of NIH. The project is a multi-year award with a focus on neurodegenerative disease research.
