Clearance of protein linked to Alzheimer’s controlled by circadian cycle

The brain’s ability to clear a protein closely linked to Alzheimer’s disease is tied to our circadian cycle, according to new research. The research underscores the importance of healthy sleep habits in preventing the protein Amyloid-Beta 42 (AB42) from forming clumps in the brain, and opens a path to potential Alzheimer’s therapies.
