Achilles’ Heel of Alzheimer’s: Scientists Pinpoint Crucial Protein Variant Driving Brain Cell Damage

Varicella zoster virus (VZV), which commonly causes chickenpox and shingles, activates herpes simplex virus (HSV) from dormancy in neural tissue grown in vitro, which then leads to an increase in plaque deposits and decrease in neural signaling - hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease.

Dream Delay Could Signal Early Alzheimer’s Risk, Study Finds

Comparison of baseline (upper row) and follow-up (lower row) FBB-PET uptake patterns in Aβ-decrease and Aβ-increase groups. The Centiloid scale, introduced by the Global Alzheimer’s Association Interactive Network, is a standardized quantitative measurement for amyloid PET imaging. Red indicates higher levels of uptake, while blue indicates lower levels. Figure is available in color online only.
