More evidence for controversial theory that herpesviruses play role in Alzheimer’s disease
In a large-scale analysis, researchers use data from three different brain banks to suggest that human herpesviruses are more abundant in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients and may play a role in regulatory genetic networks that are believed to lead to the disease. This work lends support to the controversial hypothesis that viruses are involved in Alzheimer’s disease and offers potential new paths for treatment.
