In a new study, researchers found that herpesvirus infection intensified memory problems and other Alzheimer’s-related changes in mice already vulnerable to the disease. The damage appeared to be driven not simply by the virus itself, but [...]
Researchers at Cardiff University have identified a biological pathway that may explain the association between herpesvirus infections and the worsening of Alzheimer's disease. The study reveals how the immune response to these infections can intensify cognitive decline in animal models of the disease. Biological pathway associated with Alzheimer's: Herpesviruses, which include pathogens responsible for diseases such as cold sores and mononucleo…
