Regulation and Deregulation of Viral Gene Expression During High-Risk HPV Infection
30 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Cervical cancer remains a global health burden, with persistent infection by high-risk human papillomaviruses (HR-HPVs) being the primary etiological factor. HR-HPVs target stem-like cells of the cervical epithelium to establish chronic infections. Upon infection of the cervical transformation zone (TZ)-a region adjacent to the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ)-these viruses drive neoplastic transformation, which is...
