--Researchers at Washington State University discovered that trichomonas cause prostatic cancer The latest research results may help to develop better diagnostic and therapeutic methods. Researchers have discovered the mechanism of how men suffer from trichomoniasis and prostate cancer. Trichomoniasis is a curable but often neglected sexually transmitted disease. Early studies have suggested a correlation between the two diseases, but this latest study proposes a more specific biological mechanism. John Alderete, a professor at the School of Molecular Biosciences at Washington State University, said that trichomonas parasitism activated a whole set of proteins, which kept the proteins active. It's like turning on the light switch. If you don't control the brightness of the light, you will lose your sight.

Alderete and colleagues from Washington State University and Washington University in St. Louis published the latest research results in PLoS Pathogens magazine. Trichomoniasis It is caused by protozoan parasites and is often referred to as the most common curable sexually transmitted infection. However, most infected people have no symptoms of the disease, so they often do not receive treatment.

Alderete said: Most women are the most touching group of this sexually transmitted infection disease. This year, at least 100000 women were infected with this disease and the same number of men were infected with this disease. The infected women are gestation Complications and infections AIDS The risk of viruses is greater. Infected men have a 40% chance of developing prostate cancer. Washington State University cancer Researcher Nancy Magnuson is an expert on the promoter protein PIM1 of cancer cell growth. Relevant researchers have determined how the cascade protein regulated by this protein leads to the molecular mechanism of trichomonal infection disease developing into prostate cancer.
