The core herpes simplex-1 fusion complex drives cell-to-cell spreading of pathological Tau

Stefanie-Elisabeth Heumüller, Mikhail E. Sushkin, Elisa Sánchez-Sendín, André Hossinger, Dominik Stappert, Nazlican Altinisik, Louisa Seiwert, Lydia Paulsen, Adalbert Krawczyk, Barbara G. Klupp, Thomas C. Mettenleiter, Philip Denner, Harald Prüß, Ina Maja Vorberg

This study shows HSV-1 fusion proteins enable cell-to-cell spread of pathological Tau, suggesting latent HSV-1 infection may contribute to neurodegenerative disease progression.

Endogenous retroviruses promote prion-like spreading of proteopathic seeds

Shu Liu, Stefanie-Elisabeth Heumüller, André Hossinger, Stephan A. Müller, Oleksandra Buravlova, Stefan F. Lichtenthaler, Philip Denner, Ina Maja Vorberg

This study shows endogenous retroviruses enhance prion-like spreading of protein aggregates between cells, suggesting antiviral drugs could inhibit disease progression.
