Aβ is a peptide
from APP (amyloid precursor protein)
This is the most crucial toxic waste in the brain. This is the cause for the Alzheimer’s Disease.
Clearance of beta-amyloid
convective fluxes of interstitial fluid increased the rate of β-amyloid clearance during sleep.
65% of exogenously delivered Aβ is cleared by the glymphatic system.
Aβ clearance did not differ between sleeping and anesthetized mice.
