I chatted with @philiprlang.bsky.social on his podcast about how a virus might be involved in bladder cancer. Since "Phil Lang is Not a Scientist", we made this really accessible. If you're interested in how small sneaky DNA viruses might contribute to the origins of cancers, give it a listen.

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!
