Discovery of cell protein that keeps Kaposi’s sarcoma herpesvirus dormant
A study led by UC Davis Cancer Center identified a binding protein in cancer cell’s nucleus, known as CHD4, as a critical agent keeping Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) dormant and undetected by the body’s immune system. CHD4 is linked to cancer cell growth in many types of cancers.
Cold sores: Discovery reveals how stress, illness and even sunburn trigger flareups
The finding could lead to new ways to prevent cold sores and herpes-related eye disease from reoccurring, the researchers report.
3D brain-like tissue model links Alzheimer’s disease with herpes
Scientists used a 3D human tissue culture model mimicking the components and conditions in the brain to demonstrate a possible causal relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and herpes simplex virus I infection (HSV-1). The model will allow further studies into the causes and possible treatments of this devastating neurodegenerative condition.
