Learning path: neurodegeneration

A short guided walk through what's well-established, what's contested, and what remains open for neurodegeneration.

Step 2 of 7

Hypothesis 2 of 3

Glial Metabolic Coupling Failure in Neuronal Bioenergetic Crisis

Astrocyte-lactate shuttle dysfunction starves neurons of alternative energy substrate in neurodegeneration. Astrocyte dysfunction impairs monocarboxylate transporter expression and glycogen metabolism, reducing lactate production. Neurons deprived of this metabolic support during high activity become unable to maintain calcium homeostasis and membrane potential.
