Recent work from Bonvento and colleagues indicated that synaptic and memory
deficits in early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are related to a shortage in L-serine
production in astrocytes. Here, the authors, responding to correspondence from
Chen and colleagues, discuss how this deficiency does not necessarily require a
decrease in PHGDH expression and conclude that the primary event leading to
lower serine production is more likely related to altered glycolytic flux in
early AD than to PHGDH expression.
