This breakthrough, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia, suggests that a chronic gut infection caused by cytomegalovirus (HCMV) could play a role in triggering Alzheimer’s in a specific subset ...
Researchers are gaining new insight into the relationship between the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a common herpes virus found in the gut, and the immune response associated with CD83 antibody in ...
A new study published in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association has identified a possible link between cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a common virus, and Alzheimer's disease.

Scientists have linked a common virus, cytomegalovirus (HCMV), to Alzheimer's disease. HCMV can travel from the gut to the brain via the vagus nerve, triggering immune changes and potentially ...
About 80 per cent of people show evidence of HCMV antibodies by age 80, though the virus typically remains inactive in healthy individuals. Scientists are now developing a blood test to identify ...
Summary: Researchers have linked chronic intestinal infections caused by cytomegalovirus (HCMV) to a unique subtype of Alzheimer’s disease. The virus may travel from the gut to the brain via the vagus ...
Scientists found evidence of cytomegalovirus or HCMV in the brains of people who had died with the neurodegenerative disease. HCMV is one of nine herpes viruses, although it is not considered a ...
The virus implicated, cytomegalovirus or HCMV, is one of nine herpes viruses, although it is not considered a sexually transmitted disease. Most people are exposed to HCMV in the first few decades ...
It is believed most humans are exposed to this virus -- called cytomegalovirus or HCMV -- during the first few decades of life. According to the new research, in some people, the virus may linger ...
