SOMERVILLE, Massachusetts, May 7 -- Tufts University issued the following news release:
Engineers and scientists led by Tufts University used a three-dimensional (3D) human tissue culture model mimicking the components and conditions in the brain to demonstrate a possible causal relationship between sporadic Alzheimer's disease and herpes simplex virus I infection (HSV-1). Reported in Science Advances, the model will allow for further studies into the causes and possible treatments . . .
