Shingles can cause severe chronic pain – new research on how exosomes alter neurons offers pathways to treatment
The pain of post-herpetic neuralgia can drive people to the point of suicide. Researchers are getting closer to pinpointing its cause – which may extend to other forms of neuropathy.

How a pathogen turns flowers into leaves
Scientists have found how a protein produced by bacteria disrupts the mechanism that controls flower development in plants, turning reproductive organs into leaf-like structures. These findings shed…
