Researchers have discovered the brain uses fat the same way muscles do — as an alternative fuel to glucose — going against ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on June 25, 2025, titled "Hypoxia induced lipid droplet ...

This protocol refines co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) for lipid droplet (LD)-specific protein interactions by isolating ...

The authors use cell sorting to confirm that lipid-droplet-containing microglia increase with aging and disease, in this case, a murine model of amyloid accumulation (APP-KI). In further support, ...

Schematic representation of this new method for preparing fatty acid stock solution and comparison with current methods for loading FAs. GA ...

Alzheimer's disease progression linked to microglia fat metabolism, potential new treatment target identified in recent study ...

When they overexpressed tau in glia, but not in photoreceptor neurons, lipid droplet production fell by nearly 80 percent. When they cranked up tau expression in glia throughout the fly brain, glial ...
