A discrete population of squamocolumnar junction cells implicated in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer
11 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
Infection by carcinogenic human papillomaviruses (HPV) results in precancers [cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)] and cancers near the ectoendocervical squamocolumnar (SC) junction of the cervix.

In this study, we uncovered a discrete population of SC junctional cells with unique...
