Alzheimer's, herpes virus

Using lab-grown human mini-brains, scientists find links between head trauma, herpes, and Alzheimer’s
Research published Tuesday is the first to connect the dots between a common herpes virus, head injury, and Alzheimer's.
Herpes virus and repeated head trauma linked to Alzheimer’s, study finds
Repeated head injuries suffered by sports players and military personnel — a known risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease — may induce dementia by reactivating the dormant herpes virus in neural tissues, according to laboratory experiments.
Is Alzheimer's linked to the cold-sore-causing herpes virus?
There is a potential link between Alzheimer's disease and the herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), which is a common cause for cold sores, a recent study suggests
Study links oral herpes to Alzheimer’s disease
A study seems to establish a link between oral herpes virus, which causes mouth cold sores, and Alzheimer’s disease. The study was published in Cell Reports on Jan. 2.
Herpes virus likely to have have connection with Alzheimer’s: Study
The University of Pittsburgh researchers uncovered a surprising link between Alzheimer’s disease and herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) which suggests that viral infections may play a role in the disease.
Link Between Cold Sore Herpes Virus and Alzheimer’s Discovered
Researchers discovered a connection between Alzheimer’s disease and herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), suggesting viral infections may contribute to neurodegeneration.
How a Common Virus Could Trigger Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers have linked herpes simplex virus-1 with Alzheimer's disease, revealing a surprising potential viral trigger for the neurodegenerative condition. Their study suggests that the tau protein,
More Evidence Bolsters the Oral Herpes and Alzheimer’s Link
The oral herpes virus appears to be linked with Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting that the common infection might play a role in the disease, a new study published in the journal Cell Reports says. Herpes simplex virus 1 -- the virus behind oral herpes -- appears to trigger the appearance of tau protein in the brain, researchers say.
Herpes virus might drive Alzheimer's pathology
The study also revealed how tau protein, often viewed as harmful in Alzheimer's, might initially protect the brain from the virus but contribute to brain damage later. These findings could lead to new treatments targeting infections and the brain's immune response.
