""A recent study shows that the tau protein protects against neuronal damage caused by herpes (HSV-1) infection, but over time it can become toxic.""
""Preventing herpesvirus infections should be considered a public health priority as it may reduce the risk of dementia, based on a large-scale health database analysis.""
A recent study indicates that tau protein and beta-amyloid can protect against neuron damage from herpes (HSV-1) infections, but prolonged accumulation may lead to toxicity and contribute to Alzheimer's. Despite substantial funding and research over decades, effective Alzheimer's treatments remain elusive. Recent data links HSV-1 infection to increased Alzheimer's risk, prompting a pharmaceutical team's call to prioritize herpes prevention as a public health initiative. Studies also suggest a correlation between shingles vaccination and reduced Alzheimer's risk, though more research is needed to establish direct causation.
