Researchers centered at the International Institute for Integrative Sleep Medicine (WPI-IIIS) in Japan’s University of Tsukuba find a group of phosphoproteins accumulates when mice are awake and dissipates during sleep.

The article, “Quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis of the molecular substrates of sleep need” was published online in Nature on June 14, 2018.
