The Neuroscience Chronicles

Aside its function in locomotion, posture maintenance and respiration, the hSKM is reported to be a critical metabolic regulator [1]. The hSKM is acknowledged as the primary site of glucose metabolism and storage [1]. Additionally, it serves as a reserve for amino acids [1,2]. In recently times, the hSKM has also been described as an endocrine organ.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a global health crisis currently afflicting ~6 million Americans (and ~40 million people worldwide). By the middle of the century, these numbers will stagger by ~16 million Americans (and ~152 million people worldwide) suffering from AD, if breakthrough disease-modifying treatments are not discovered.
