It consists of a light source and prisms and measures the concentration of dissolved substances by their ability to bend light through the prism. In virology, we use gradients of sucrose spun at high speeds to purify viruses which will settle at distinct sucrose densities as measured on the refractrometer. It still works.</p>

Recently, though, they did something so brazen, so high-handed, that outrage was unavoidable: They essentially renamed all the viruses.</p><p>The change unfolded slowly, over the course of the last four years.

HIV-1 would henceforth be known as Lentivirus humimdef1. SARs-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid, would be known as Betacoronavirus pandemicum.

Nonya Bidniss :CIAverified:<p>Decades of epidemiological data have shown that infections with herpes simplex virus type 1, or HSV-1 can raise the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in certain people. So can a history of head injury. The new research, published Tuesday in Science Signaling, is the first to connect the dots between them, and adds to mounting evidence that this most common form of dementia can be caused by an everyday microbe. </p><p>The results suggest that athletes, military personnel, and other people suffering concussions could be triggering the reanimation of latent infections in the brain that can lead to Alzheimer’s later in life. More work needs to be done, but the proposed mechanism points to the use of antiviral drugs as a potential early preventive treatment. “The idea is if you have this sort of injury, it can reactivate HSV-1, which is present in most people whether they know it or not,” said Dana Cairns, a stem cell biologist at Tufts who led the work. </p><p>More than 80% of adults over the age of 60 are estimated to have been infected with HSV-1 at some time in their lives. It’s a virus that never really goes away, even after the immune system kicks in and the cold sores disappear. Instead, HSV-1 goes silent, burrowing into neurons and leaving behind copies of its genome with the potential to restart infections when the immune system is weakened. </p><p><a href="https://www.statnews.com/2025/01/07/alzheimers-disease-research-link-between-herpes-virus-head-trauma-dementia/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">statnews.com/2025/01/07/alzhei</span><span class="invisible">mers-disease-research-link-between-herpes-virus-head-trauma-dementia/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scisignal.ado6430" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">science.org/doi/10.1126/scisig</span><span class="invisible">nal.ado6430</span></a><br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TBI</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CTE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CTE</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/virology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>virology</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/alzheimers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alzheimers</span></a></p>
Nonya Bidniss :CIAverified:<p>The WHO reported that in 2016 an estimated 3.7 billion people had HSV-1 infection, the virus that causes cold sores – around 66.6% of the world’s population aged 0 to 49. Most people with HSV-1 have no symptoms. A new paper provides evidence that a key Alzheimer's protein may be linked to the brain's attempt to protect itself if HSV-1 enters the brain.</p><p>--------------------</p><p>Does the tau protein associated with Alzheimer’s help battle herpes in the brain?</p><p>Despite decades of study, neuroscientists aren’t sure exactly why some people develop the clumps of β-amyloid and tangles of phosphorylated tau proteins that are the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. Now, a study adds to the support for a controversial hypothesis that viruses, especially those that cause herpes, may exacerbate or even trigger the neurodegenerative disease.</p><p>Herpes simplex virus 1, or HSV-1 for short, is generally milder than its relatives, causing mere cold sores. But it can make its way into the brain, and some have hypothesized this may set off a chain reaction that ultimately leads to the death of neurons. To further investigate this idea, researchers looked for HSV-1 proteins in postmortem brain samples from people with and without Alzheimer’s disease. They found bits of the virus in the same places as phosphorylated tau, suggesting an association. When they introduced the virus into cultured mini-brains grown from stem cells (known as organoids), levels of tau increased—and this rise helped suppress the infection.</p><p>“Our study challenges the conventional view of tau as solely harmful, showing that it may initially act as part of the brain’s immune defense,” said senior author Or Shemesh in a statement. And it could point towards new avenues of Alzheimer’s prevention—although much more research on the connection between HSV-1 and the disease is needed before the findings could be translated clinically." <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Alzheimers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alzheimers</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HSV1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HSV1</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/virology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>virology</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>medicine</span></a> <a href="https://www.science.org/content/article/scienceadviser-does-tau-help-battle-herpes-brain" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">science.org/content/article/sc</span><span class="invisible">ienceadviser-does-tau-help-battle-herpes-brain</span></a></p>

Michael Emerman<p>Lencapapavir, Science Magazine's 2024 Breakthrough of the Year. A long-lasting injectable drug that protects from HIV infection that has the potential to end the HIV pandemic as part of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis). The drug works by binding the viral capsid protein and altering its ability to uncoat, enter the nucleus, and subsequently integrate viral DNA into the cell chromosomes. <br><a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/Virology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Virology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/hiv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hiv</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.science.org/content/article/breakthrough-2024#section_breakthrough" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">science.org/content/article/br</span><span class="invisible">eakthrough-2024#section_breakthrough</span></a></p>
