Description

The abstract notes that microglial glucose metabolic reprogramming occurs across AD, PD, ALS, and MS but doesn’t explain why different diseases show distinct metabolic patterns. Understanding these mechanisms could reveal disease-specific therapeutic targets and explain differential treatment responses.
