Studies suggest gum disease bacteria,\u00a0<em>P. gingivalis<\/em>, may contribute to Alzheimer\u2019s development. Its toxic enzymes, gingipains, have been found in brains of both diagnosed patients and those with Alzheimer\u2019s pathology but no dementia diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers believe this points to brain infection occurring before cognitive decline, not simply as a result of poor oral care in later stages. In mice, a compound called COR388 reduced harmful protein buildup and brain inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>While human treatments are still unproven, experts stress the importance of exploring such approaches, given the lack of new dementia therapies in over 15 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2234Cold sores, or fever blisters, are a common viral infection usually caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), though HSV-2 can also cause them through oral-genital contact. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; They are highly&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2495,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4920"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4920\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4921,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4920\/revisions\/4921"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
