Alzheimer's, herpes virus

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
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.
Head injuries may reactivate herpes virus in brain, raise Alzheimer's risk: Study
A recent study by Tufts and Oxford universities reveals that head trauma can activate dormant herpes viruses in the brain, causing inflammation and ac
Herpes link to Alzheimer's opens doors for new treatments
Scientists from the University of Pittsburgh have discovered a surprising connection between Alzheimer's disease and the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Their study suggests that viral infections may play a role in developing this condition.
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.
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.
Common virus could be behind Alzheimer’s in some people, scientists say
A chronic gut infection caused by a common virus may be linked to the progression of Alzheimer ’s disease, a new study has found. Cytomegalovirus, or HCMV, is one of nine herpes viruses that most people are exposed to in the first few decades of life. Unlike most herpes viruses, however, it is not considered to be sexually transmitted.
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.
Researchers Found A Link Between This Childhood Virus And Alzheimer's. Here's What A Neurologist Wants You To Know
A new study found a link between cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Alzheimer's disease. Here's what a neurologist wants you to know, plus how to protect yourself.
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.
New Study Finds Link Between This Common Virus and Alzheimer’s Disease: What A Neurologist Wants You To Know
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting more than three million Americans per year. And while its exact cause is unknown, researchers may have just had a breakthrough. A study,
