hCMV is a virus that infects nearly half of the French population, with transmission through bodily fluids. It is linked to various cancers, including glioblastoma, a deadly brain tumor. While hCMV has been found in GBM cases, causality has not been proven. A study showed that hCMV can induce the formation of GBM-like cancer cells in mice, leading to the development of deadly tumors. This discovery suggests potential new anti-hCMV therapies for GBM. The researchers believe their findings open the door to new treatment strategies for this incurable disease.
