@HermelinDaniela Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCV) is a virus that can induce carcinogenesis. MCV can cause Merkel Cell Carcinoma, which is a rare and aggressive skin cancer. The details are still unknown, but pan-T-antigen is thought to be a main factor. #SDMSIUPath

@HermelinDaniela Oxygenation can positively or negatively influence tissue repair. Hypoxia stimulates growth factors and angiogenesis necessary for wound feeling. However, chronic exposure can delay the wound healing process. (Bishop, 2008; Rodriguez et al., 2008) #SDMSIUPath
@HermelinDaniela The liquid found in e-cigs contains Propylene glycol and glycerin. When vaporized, these substances can degrade into formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, which are known carcinogens. However, the research is not clear on how this exposure can lead to cancer yet. https://t.co/lKWDzQLhpq
