So pleased to have our findings published this last week! We study how Connexin 32 gap junctions help normal urothelium to resist invasive characteristics, with implications for luminal muscle invasive bladder cancers. www.life-science-alliance.org/content/9/5/...

For World Cancer Day, we're shining a spotlight on Dr Simon Baker and his team at the University of York, and their research into BK virus and bladder cancer. Read more the research here: https://bit.ly/4pjXEvr

New results suggest that bladder cancer could be caused by the body’s response to common childhood virus - Kidney Research UK

New data from Dr Simon Baker suggests BK virus can drive bladder cancer development, which kidney transplant recipients are at more risk of.

What causes bladder cancer initiating mutations? Our paper in Science Advances asks the question: can BK virus infections of normal urothelium lead to the APOBEC3 mutational signatures found in bladder cancers? We found that they can!

Interested in #bladdercancer? Come to the Bladder Cancer Translational Research Meeting in Brimingham on the 28th Feb. I'm presenting on APOBECs and cancer initiation. Prof Maria De Santis is talking about treating metastatic disease and loads more exciting speakers. www.kcl.ac.uk/events/7th-b...

Advert for a talk by Simon Baker at the University of Birmingham on the 28th February 2025 titled "What drives the APOBEC-mutagenesis that initiates urothelial carcinomas? The case for BK polyomavirus infections"

Nice review on Metastatic non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Great work www.nature.com/articles/s41... .....

Metastasis development in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer - Nature Reviews Urology

In some instances (<5%), non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer can progress to metastatic disease without any signs of bladder muscle or lympho-vascular invasion, a condition known as metastatic non-m...
