Amyloid-Beta Reduction

Meaning

Amyloid-Beta Reduction refers to therapeutic or lifestyle strategies aimed at decreasing the concentration or inhibiting the aggregation of amyloid-beta peptides in the central nervous system. These peptides are small protein fragments naturally produced in the brain, but their misfolding and accumulation into plaques are a hallmark of certain neurodegenerative conditions. The clinical goal is to restore normal cerebral proteostasis and mitigate the associated neurotoxicity. Successful reduction is theorized to preserve synaptic function and neuronal health, supporting cognitive longevity.
