Saber et al showed that brain neurons donot run “only on glucose”, but require their in-house saturated fatty acids generated by activity dependent enzyme, DDHD2. ⚡️🧈
Looking forward to translation of this finding to aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

DDHD2 provides a flux of saturated fatty acids for neuronal energy and function - Nature Metabolism
Saber et al. show that the lipase DDHD2 provides endogenous saturated fatty acids to support fatty acid oxidation and energy production, proteostasis and membrane trafficking balance.

It’s still exciting to witness this revolution started in my student years.
While many of us speculate other way, digital pathology could be an example of how AI and machine learning will create more demand for specialised jobs, while it may reduce mundane and/or error-prone human work.

(1) to represent more diverse, larger populations, (2) to easily share samples/data with researchers and clinicians, and finally, (3) to play more roles in medical discoveries.
Not to be missed, none could happen w/o contribution of public, including people being treated for 🧠 diseases.

This great read was in my tabs for a couple of weeks. Until today!
The experts discuss how the new tech, collabs and networks in neuropathology will transform the biomedicine for brain health. And what it needs for the boost!
Shortly, standardisation, accessibility, and education are key…
