NTCP and beyond: opening the door to unveil hepatitis B virus entry.

International journal of molecular sciences - 19 Feb 2014

Watashi Koichi, Urban Stephan, Li Wenhui, Wakita Takaji

Abstract excerpt

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, affecting approximately 240 million people worldwide, is a major public health problem that elevates the risk of developing liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Given that current anti-HBV drugs are limited to interferon-based regimens and nucleos(t)ide analogs, the development of new anti-HBV agents is urgently needed. The viral entry process is generally an...
