Abstract excerpt
Beyond its well-known role in orofacial recurrent infections, HSV-1 has garnered significant attention in neuroscience for contrasting reasons. On one hand, it has been found to be involved in neurodegenerative processes; on the other, it may represent a versatile platform for gene therapy of brain diseases, due to its large genome that enables the delivery of sizable or multiple genes. These opposite features...
