WEHI researchers have discovered a never-before-seen mechanism our bodies use to regulate sugar, in findings that rewrite the ...

Researchers at WEHI have discovered that ubiquitin, a protein best known for tagging damaged proteins, can also attach to glycogen and regulate its breakdown. Using a new technique called ...

A surprising discovery about how brain cells handle sugar could shift how scientists approach dementia and Alzheimer’s treatments. In a new study published in Nature Metabolism, researchers uncovered ...

In a new study published in Nature Metabolism titled “Neuronal Glycogen Breakdown Mitigates Tauopathy via Pentose Phosphate Pathway-Mediated Oxidative Stress Reduction,” researchers from the Buck ...

A new study from scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging has revealed a surprising player in the battle against Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia: brain sugar metabolism.

Scientists have found a new way the body controls stored sugar. A molecule once thought to work only on proteins can also act ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden biological switch that directly controls stored sugar (glycogen) within cells, challenging ...
