We’re thrilled to kick off 2026 by sharing a new PNAS publication led by Masa Shuda! The team demonstrated a novel approach that turns off cancer cells instead of just killing them.

I am excited to introduce our recent publication by Rapchak and Shiva, showing that small T oncoprotein from Merkel cell polyomavirus controls virus genome maintenance. The small 19kDa-viral protein drives not only carcinogenesis but also persistence.

@PLOSONE Nice to know that many people cite our paper.

N-Myc downstream regulated gene (NDRG) 1 that is uniquely induced by MCPyV T oncogene acts as a tutor suppressor in MCPyV-induced cancers. A discovery in collaboration with Tommasino lab at the IARC.
