A multi-organ spatial metabolomic atlas of exercising mice reveals neuronal Complex I as a convergent and sufficient axis for tau pathology reduction in PS19

Terrymar Medina, Sadi Quiñones, Zizhen Liu, Lei Wu, Borhane Ziani, Cameron J. Shedlock, Xin Ma, Alison Ryan, Reece Larson, Charles M. Soto, Vicenzo Barco-Caiaffa, Ann Titus, Kangjin Wong, Nidhi Rao, Sophia Florea, , Ramon C. Sun

This paper constructs a spatial metabolomic atlas of exercise in mice, identifies Complex I as a key target for reducing tau pathology, and shows that enhancing its activity mimics exercise's protective effects.
