- Scientists find more evidence that herpes could trigger Alzheimer's disease. When infected with herpes viruses, previously linked to Alzheimer's, neurons in both mice and lab tests quickly developed amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques – thought to lead to Alzheimer's. https://www.sciencealert.com/more-evidence-that-viruses-herpes-causes-alzheimer-s 18 comments science
- Scientists find that Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) can trigger buildup that resembles amyloid plaques, sticky clumps of proteins that tend to accumulate between the neurons of Alzheimer's disease patients. In turn, these clumps pave the way for a slow decline in memory and cognitive skills. https://www.inverse.com/mind-body/herpes-and-alzheimers-disease 954 comments science
