The Case for BK Polyomavirus as a Cause of Bladder Cancer
NCI ’ s Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Grand Rounds
Dr. Buck ’ s lab studies polyomaviruses. A great majority of healthy adults chronically shed
polyomavirus virions in their urine and from the surface of their skin. Although these lifelong infections generally aren't known to cause symptoms in healthy individuals, under conditions of immune impairment polyomaviruses can cause disease.

Identical Twins Transplant
Intro: Organ transplantation has come a long way in recent years. For example, kidney transplants are very successful operations. But unless a patient gets an organ from an identical twin, he's stuck taking medication to suppress his immune system so the body doesn't reject it. Doctors at Mayo Clinic want to change that. They're researching ways to grow organs from a patient's own stem cells. It's called regenerative medicine, and it offers hope for a solution to organ rejection.
