Sleep Deficit Linked to Accumulation of Alzheimer’s Protein and Memory Loss

A new study reports on a link between lack of restorative sleep and an accumulation of amyloid beta.

Enzymes act on the APP (amyloid precursor protein) and cut it into fragments. The beta-amyloid fragment is crucial in the formation of senile plaques in AD.
