TL;DR: Researchers and clinicians working on Alzheimer’s disease or related topics write to express their concern that one particular aspect of the disease has been neglected.

TL;DR: Receptor mRNA and protein levels were examined following infection or treatment with UV inactivated virus, virus-induced soluble factors or pelleted virus indicating that these receptors are targets for treating virus- induced cough.

TL;DR: HSV1 generates the main components of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles—β-amyloid (Aβ) and abnormally phosphorylated tau but also prevents degradation of these aberrant proteins, leading to their accumulation and deposition, and eventually to AD.

TL;DR: It is shown that CD46 is also downregulated to the same extent by wild-type, vaccine, and laboratory-passaged strains of rinderpest virus (RPV), although CD46 did not appear to be the receptor for RPV.

TL;DR: In 2006 and 2007, elevated numbers of deaths among seals, constituting an unusual mortality event, occurred off the coasts of Maine and Massachusetts, United States. as mentioned in this paper isolated a virus from seal tissue and confirmed it as phocine distemper virus (PDV) and compared the viral hemagglutinin, phosphoprotein, and fusion (F and matrix) protein gene sequences with those of viruses from the 1988 and 2002 PDV epizootics.
