HSV-1 is a common virus. During infection, its DNA incorporates into host chromosomes, where it lies dormant. An estimated two-thirds of adults worldwide carry these latent HSV-1 genes. Previous work ...
Revised guidelines for amyloid and tau positron emission tomography for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia state these tests ...
This study showed, using a variety of techniques, that HSV-1 proteins are indeed present in brain samples from Alzheimer's patients and in organoid models of the disease. Aberrant tau proteins, which ...
From combating cancer and infections to storing energy, lipid-protein interactions are critical to biological processes in ...
This study examined whether sex, age, microglial activation or ApoE4 modulates the Aβ to p-tau axis, a critical event in the ...
AlphaFold solved a structural biology riddle: predicting protein structure. And yet, CASP, a global competition born to solve ...
Over the past two decades, large genetic studies have linked tens of thousands of DNA variants to thousands of human traits ...
Research shows 60% of missense mutations destabilize proteins, linking protein folding to genetic diseases, including ...
