Herpesvirus infection may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease through transposable element activation and neuroinflammation.

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic's Genome Center have outlined the pathway human herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV1) can use to contribute to Alzheimer's disease in aging brains. In a report published in ...

Full details are published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association in a paper titled, “Human herpesvirus-associated transposable element activation in human ...

Transposons, also known as jumping genes or mobile genetic elements as they can replicate and reinsert themselves in the ...

Dr. Cheng hypothesized that latent HPV-1 infections could trigger Alzheimer's disease by directly activating the transposable elements the Cheng Lab had previously connected to disease progression ...

New research from The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health has found that “human endogenous ...

The study, published in Cell today, reveals how the retrotransposon copia completes its replication cycle and travels into the nucleus through the nuclear pores. The study is a collaboration between ...

T here are numerous ways that mobile genetic elements can affect evolution. For example, many transposable elements (TEs), often called transposons, contain genes that code for their jumping or ...

ABSTRACT: The origin of complex biological symmetric structures has long been a subject of interest and debate. How new sophisticated structures arise, perfectly meshed together, and added to ...
