Disrupting Neuron and Glia Interaction Appears to Lead to Neurodegeneration

Scientists from the Baylor College of Medicine say that a cellular mechanism that disrupts the interaction between neurons and glia can result in neurodegeneration. Their study ("The Glia-Neuron Lactate Shuttle and Elevated ROS Promote Lipid Synthesis in Neurons and Lipid Droplet Accumulation in Glia via APOE/D"), which appears in Cell Metabolism , may shed light on the development of diseases as Alzheimer's, they add."Elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce the formation of lipids in
