šŸ’Š #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

To restore the immune cells’ clean-up function 🧹, we ā€œswitched offā€ glycolytic metabolism by removing hexokinase-2 bound to the mitochondria. This spurred microglia to gobble up šŸ½ļø toxic proteins that can build up in the brain 🧠 leading to Alzheimer’s. 🧵 (6/7)
