Neuroenergetics: Astrocytes Have a Sweet Spot for Glucose

Abstract

Astrocytes are polarized cells that are known to take up glucose while delivering lactate, not glucose, for neuronal use. A new study suggests how astrocytes could facilitate glucose uptake, storage and funneling at energy-requiring sites through a privileged intracellular route.
