Hepatitis C Virus and Cellular Stress Response: Implications to Molecular Pathogenesis of Liver Diseases

Abstract excerpt

Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading risk factor for chronic liver disease progression, including steatosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. With approximately 3% of the human population infected worldwide, HCV infection remains a global public health challenge.
