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.

Key human defenses against pathogens were forged billions of years ago in microbial battles with viruses. Learn more this week in Science: scim.ag/3RTyCap
This depiction of viral threats confronting both bacteria and people, and the protein and cellular defenses arrayed against them, illustrates how human immunity traces part of its antiviral arsenal to ancient microbial predecessors. This shared defensive heritage is already suggesting novel tools for molecular biology and new approaches to medicine.
