Abstract:Persistent high‐risk human papilloma virus (HR‐HPV) infection is the main risk factor for cervical cancer, threatening women's health. Despite growing prophylactic vaccination, annual cervical cancer cases are still increasing and show a trend of younger onset age. However, therapeutic approaches towards HPV infection are still limited. 25‐hydrocholesterol (25HC) has a wide‐spectrum inhibitory effect on a variety of viruses. To explore efficient interventions to restrict HPV infection at an early time, we appl… Show more
