          Ancient Viruses in Our DNA May Fuel Dementia

          Researchers discovered a potential link between "endogenous retroviruses" present in the human genome and the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Their study found that these ancient viral remnants might influence the spread of protein aggregates commonly associated with certain dementias.

          Ancient Virus Awakening: Hidden Culprit in Glioblastoma Brain Cancer Aggressiveness

          The reactivation of a dormant retrovirus, HML-2, may contribute to the aggressiveness of glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor. Researchers discovered that the virus influences the stem-cell state of the tumors, thereby promoting a more resistant form of cancer.

          Sugar and Fat Energize Unique Immune Cells Against Viruses and Bacteria

          Researchers discovered two subtypes of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in mouse lungs. Each subtype has a distinct role: MAIT1 cells battle viruses using sugar for fuel, while MAIT17 cells fight bacteria using fat.

          Could an Ancient Virus Be a Genetic Driver of Autism?

          Genome and transcriptome analysis revealed BTBR autism mouse models have increased levels of endogenous retrovirus genes. BTBR/R models of ASD showed differences in the expression of a variety of genes that are indicative of endogenous retrovirus activation. BTBR/R mice exhibit autistic-like behaviors without reduced learning abilities.

          Could a Viral Illness Increase Chances of Developing Alzheimer’s or Other Neurodegenerative Disease?

          Study reveals a significant association between certain viral illnesses, including viral encephalitis and pneumonia-causing flu with an increased risk of developing a neurodegenerative disorder later in life. Researchers say existing vaccines against the viruses may reduce the chances of developing neurodegeneration.

          How Epstein-Barr Virus Triggers Multiple Sclerosis

          Around 25% of patients with multiple sclerosis have blood antibodies that bind to the Epstein-Barr virus and EBNA1, a protein made in the brain and spinal cord. Researchers say this is the first study to definitely show that the Epstein-Barr virus can cause multiple sclerosis in some patients.
