Microglia are the immune cells of the brain, so it's important for them to function in any environment. New research from @brian_macvicar lab shows they can still do their job even when there's no glucose around! Check out their findings in @NatureComms go.nature.com/2xrVjcU

Proud to share our work on the unique metabolic flexibility of microglia in the brain! These microglia won’t stop working, even without glucose! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Microglial metabolic flexibility supports immune surveillance of the brain parenchyma

Nature Communications - Glucose is the main source of fuel in the brain. Here, the authors show that in the absence of glucose, glutamine is required for microglia to maintain their immune...

.@LPBernier and @brian_macvicar at @DMCBrainHealth have demonstrated that microglia, the brain's immune cells, are able to sense changes in the brain environment in the nanoscale by using actin-dependent filopodia. bit.ly/2IeCIDQ
