Ketone Bodies: A Promising Strategy for Enhancing Protein Quality Control in Brain Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases
A recent study published in Cell Chemical Biology by researchers at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging has uncovered significant roles of ketone bodies beyond energy production, particularly in brain function related to aging and Alzheimer’s disease. Key findings include: Direct Interaction with Misfolded Proteins: The ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate interacts directly with…
