Regulation of proteostasis by sleep through autophagy in Drosophila models of Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract excerpt

Sleep and circadian rhythm dysfunctions are common clinical features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Increasing evidence suggests that in addition to being a symptom, sleep disturbances can also drive the progression of neurodegeneration. Protein aggregation is a pathological hallmark of AD; however, the molecular pathways behind how sleep affects protein homeostasis remain elusive. Here we demonstrate that sleep...
