Amyloid Clearance

Meaning

Amyloid Clearance is the essential biological process by which the central nervous system removes or degrades abnormal, insoluble protein aggregates known as amyloid plaques, particularly amyloid-beta. This clearance mechanism is vital for maintaining neuronal health and optimal cognitive function throughout the lifespan. Impaired amyloid clearance is a central pathological feature in neurodegenerative conditions, leading to plaque accumulation and subsequent synaptic and cellular dysfunction. Supporting this process is a key therapeutic strategy in longevity and brain health protocols.
