Explore the intricate relationship between aging, microglial glutaminase, and neurodegenerative disorders in this 56-minute medical seminar presented by Dr. Jialin C. Zheng at Johns Hopkins Medicine. Delve into cutting-edge research examining how microglial cells and their glutaminase enzyme activity contribute to neurodegeneration as the brain ages. Learn about the molecular mechanisms underlying age-related neurological decline and discover how glutaminase dysfunction in microglia may serve as a therapeutic target for treating neurodegenerative diseases. Gain insights into the latest findings connecting neuroinflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and cognitive decline, while understanding the implications for developing novel treatment strategies for conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other age-related neurological disorders.
