Peroxisome dynamics during HSV-1 life cycle in human neurons

Carolina Filipponi, A. De Carli, Iwan Gane, Caterina Pignata, Elena Iacono, Fabio Filippini, Giulia Sciandrone, Domenico Favaro, Maribeth A. Wesesky, Giulia Freer, Mauro Pistello, Leonardo D’Aiuto, Roberto Angelini, Michele Lai

This study shows HSV-1 uses peroxisomal metabolism and lipid pathways in human neurons to support its replication and suggests this may contribute to neuronal damage in Alzheimer's disease.
