Huntington's Disease Onset Explained by Accelerating Genetic Mutation
New research reveals that the Huntington's disease-causing genetic mutation, involving CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene, remains dormant until it surpasses 150 repeats, triggering toxic protein production and neuronal cell death; this process accelerates significantly after 80 repeats, ex...

Head Injuries May Reactivate Brain Viruses, Triggering Alzheimer's: Lab Study
Laboratory research suggests that head injuries may reactivate dormant herpes viruses (like HSV-1) in the brain, triggering inflammation and potentially leading to Alzheimer's disease, due to beta-amyloid plaque buildup and tau protein formation; this was demonstrated in a model brain.
