JERUSALEM, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- A study by an international research team has found further evidence suggesting a possible connection between the Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSV-1) and Alzheimer's disease, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU) announced on Monday.
The study identified 19 HSV-1-related proteins in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, spanning all stages of the disease. This finding strengthens growing evidence pointing to infections, such as HSV-1, as a potential factor in the development and progression of Alzheimer's.
