By paulina [dot] pettersson [at] med [dot] lu [dot] se (Paulina Pettersson) - published 15 November 2023 I en studie ledd från Lunds universitet kan forskarna för första gången visa att traumatiska hjärnskador aktiverar vilande endogena retrovirus som under årmiljonernas gång infogats i människans DNA. Att dessa aktiveras kan vara drivande för att starta en inflammation som förvärrar hjärnskadan.
