Insufficient Sleep Can Lead to Dementia, Affecting the Clearance of Toxic Proteins in the Brain and Increasing the Risk of Dementia

This study reveals how sleep deprivation affects microglia, and finds that TREM2 mediates sleep deprivation-induced microglia overactivation, and β-Amyloid protein (Aβ) deposition increases. Long-term chronic sleep deprivation regulates inflammation and the metabolic reaction of microglia and Aβ in the brain.   With the accelerating pace of society and increasing work pressure, it is sometimes particularly luxurious for modern people to have a good sleep.
