Enzyme-Constrained Metabolic Modeling of the Tripartite Synapse Links Astrocyte-Neuron Lactate Shuttle to Lipid Trafficking and Redox Homeostasis
2026-06-19
Abstract excerpt
Neuron–astrocyte metabolic coupling sustains synaptic function through coordinated substrate exchange, redox homeostasis, and lipid handling, yet the systems-level mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we developed an enzyme-constrained, genome-scale metabolic model of the mouse tripartite synapse to test whether protein allocation can reproduce the astrocyte–neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS). Starting from the i...
