Huntington's Disease: CAG Repeat Expansion Identified as Key Disease Mechanism
New research shows that the Huntington's disease mutation, involving a repeated DNA sequence (CAG), expands over time, remaining harmless until it surpasses 150 repeats, triggering toxic protein production and neuronal death; this discovery could lead to new treatment strategies.

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.
