Neuronal AMPK Regulates Microglial Lipid Droplet Accumulation in Tauopathy Brain

Accumulation of Lipid Droplets in Microglia is Regulated by Neuronal AMPK Background and Research Question Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common type of dementia characterized by neurofibrillary tangles and β-amyloid plaques. However, beyond these classical pathologies, changes in lipid metabolism are increasingly recognized as closely associated wi...

Targeting Dysregulated Phago-/Auto-Lysosomes in Sertoli Cells to Ameliorate Late-Onset Hypogonadism

Research Background This study focuses on late-onset hypogonadism (LOH), aiming to uncover the mechanisms associated with age-related testicular function deviations, such as LOH, which are not yet fully understood. Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing technology, the study analyzed the testicles of humans with LOH to identify supporting cells (SCs)...

Inhibition of Fatty Acid Uptake by TGR5 Prevents Diabetic Cardiomyopathy

Preventing Diabetic Cardiomyopathy through Suppressing TGR5-Mediated Fatty Acid Uptake Background and Problem Statement Diabetic Cardiomyopathy (DBCM) is a severe complication frequently faced by diabetic patients, characterized by lipid accumulation in the myocardium and cardiac dysfunction. Bile acid metabolism plays a crucial role in cardiovascu...
