Unlike most other solid tumors in humans, carcinoma of the uterine cervix is associated with
concomitant infection by a small DNA tumor virus, one (or, rarely, more than one) of several …

The life cycle of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is tightly linked to the differentiation status
of the host cell. While early genes are expressed during the initial stages of viral infection …

HPVs (human papillomaviruses) infect epithelial cells and cause a variety of lesions ranging
from common warts/verrucas to cervical neoplasia and cancer. Over 100 different HPV types …

HPVs (human papillomaviruses) infect epithelial cells and their replication cycle is intimately
linked to epithelial differentiation. There are over 200 different HPV genotypes identified to …

Papillomaviruses have evolved over many millions of years to propagate themselves at
specific epithelial niches in a range of different host species. This has led to the great …

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are strictly host-specific and also show a distinct tropism to
squamous epithelial cells. Upon HPV infection, only a portion of the virus reaching the …

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are small DNA viruses that contain a compact and non-
redundant genome. HPV, with the help of only few genes, can achieve a complete …

Human papillomaviruses establish a reservoir of infection in the epithelial basal layer. To do
this they limit their gene expression to avoid immune detection and modulate epithelial …

Persistent viruses need mechanisms to protect their genomes from cellular defenses and to
ensure that they are efficiently propagated to daughter host cells. One mechanism by which …

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have evolved over millions of years to propagate
themselves in a range of different animal species including humans. Viruses that have co …
