#Ketone bodies are not just about energy. Study in @cellpress.bsky.social shows metabolites are powerful signaling molecules that help clean up damaged proteins.

Ketone bodies directly interact with and regulate clearance of misfolded proteins in the brain! There’s still so much biology to uncover here with great translational potential. Thank you to everyone who has played a part in helping this project make it to this final form!
