Interest in developing a vaccine for Epstein-Barr virus, or EBV, has grown as the link between infection and later consequences like multiple sclerosis and cancer has become clear. A new vaccine that appears effective in mice could protect against both short- and long-term disease. #ImmunotherapyBreakthrough #EBVVaccine #ResearchAdvancements #VaccineDevelopment #HealthcareRevolution #SymmetricTraining

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted Infection (STI) and has been implicated in over 90 percent of cases of cervical cancer. Medical experts said persistent infection from HPV puts people at risk of cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, anus and throat in women, and cancers of the anus, mouth and penis in men. That there is incontrovertible evidence that HPV infection is a trigger factor for cervical cancer, adding that this means that in 90 percent of cases of cervical cancer, there is that presence of HPV virus infection. HPV causes cervical cancer by infecting cells in the cervix, changing them and causing them to replicate and multiply in an uncontrolled manner.
