Introduction. After the acute form of COVID-19, 10 to 30% of patients tend to develop a post-covid syndrome or long-COVID-19. Research is actively being conducted into the causes of long-term COVID-19, one of which may be a violation of the immune response after SARS-CoV2 enters the body as a...

The herpes simplex virus hides in the body’s immune cells, increasing its survival chances. This finding from offers a new target for vaccines to clear latent infection. Abstract A hallmark of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is the establishment of latent virus in peripheral sensory...

"Herpes simplex virus (HSV) establishes latency in ganglionic neurons of the peripheral nervous system, from which it can reactivate, causing recurrent disease and possible transmission to a new host. Current anti-HSV therapy does not eliminate latent HSV, and thus is only suppressive rather...

Alzheimer’s disease can begin almost imperceptibly, often masquerading in the early months or years as forgetfulness that is common in older age. What causes the disease remains largely a mystery. But researchers at Tufts University and the University of Oxford, using a three-dimensional human...
