17 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
Cervical cancer is the most frequent malignancy of the female genital tract and is associated with persistent infection of the uterine cervix with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV). The two HPV oncoproteins, E6 and E7, cooperatively immortalize cervical cells and are essential but insufficient for inducing tumorigenicity. During the progression of HPV-associated cervical dysplasia to carcinoma, the cellular...
