Glycoprotein G unlocks genital herpes spread to nerves, revealing vaccine target

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a key protein that allows the virus that causes genital herpes to get into the nervous system. The discovery, made in experiments on mice, could pave the way for future vaccines against the disease. The study is publishe

Researchers discover new form of hereditary prostate cancer

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have identified a new form of hereditary prostate cancer that, while rare, can cause aggressive disease at a young age. The discovery paves the way for genetic testing programs that could help identify at-risk families and support

Hidden pocket reveals new way to target prostate cancer's 'undruggable' ERG protein

In the United States, prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related disease and death in men. About half of prostate cancer cases in patients of European ancestry have a gene rearrangement in which the genes TMPRSS2 and ERG are fused together. This causes the ERG protein t

From mosquito flight range to impact of temperatures: Understanding dengue transmission in

Dengue is caused by the dengue virus and transmitted by mosquito bites. Traditionally endemic in tropical regions such as Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as Southeast Asia, local transmission across several countries in mainland Europe has been documented since 2010. In

Oxalate buildup triggers systemic inflammation and cardiac damage, study shows

People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a significantly increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease. They also suffer from chronic inflammation, the causes of which are still only partly understood. Oxalic acid (oxalate) has so far been known primarily for its role

Bacteria from gum disease may cause inflammation, harden heart valves

Gum disease bacteria may spur calcium buildup in the heart's aortic valve, leading to a common and serious heart valve disease, according to preliminary, independent research presented at the American Heart Association's Basic Cardiovascular Sciences Scientific Sessions 2026, hel

Heat waves and pollution raise heart risks, doctors warn

When temperatures climb, the cardiovascular system works harder to keep the body cool by redirecting blood flow from the core to the surface of the skin to allow for evaporation. High temperatures can cause blood to coagulate and thicken, making the process even harder on the hea

Novel technology could aid targeted lung cancer treatment

Scientists have developed a new method for accurately predicting gene changes that cause lung cancer, without the need for slower, more expensive lab techniques. The technology was able to identify specific genetic changes with high accuracy, offering a potentially faster, more e

Microglia mechanism reveals why brain's stroke repair window closes

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide and often results in impairments in movement, speech and cognition. While rehabilitation helps patients regain some lost functions, the brain's natural ability to repair itself often fades within a few months a

Dialing back stiffness may protect muscles in myotonic dystrophy

For decades, researchers studying myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) have focused on the disease's underlying genetic cause: a mutation that produces a toxic form of RNA, disrupting the normal processing of thousands of genetic messages inside cells. While scientists have known this

US study suggests GLP-1 RA drugs are associated with small increase in ischemic optic neur

A target trial emulation found that people with type 2 diabetes who started glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) therapy had a slightly higher risk of ischemic optic neuropathy (ION), a rare condition involving reduced blood flow to the optic nerve that can cause su
