Glycogen serves as an essential energy reserve in the central nervous system, predominantly stored in astrocytes but also synthesised at low levels in neurons. Its synthesis is driven by glycogen ...

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.

Mycobacterial species deploy intricate pathways to synthesise and remodel glycogen-like α-glucans and complex polysaccharides that underpin both energy storage and pathogenicity. Intracellular ...

Researchers discover that glycogen and N-linked glycans accumulate in fibrotic regions of the lung and may be important for therapy development. Ramon Sun, a biochemist at the University of Florida ...
