Abstract:Although HPV infection is the major cause of tumorigenesis in cervical cancer; interestingly it has been noted that HPV infection does not always lead to cervical cancer. This suggests that there could be some unknown factor that directly or indirectly interacts with these HPV oncoproteins leading to tumorigenesis. Our study aims to understand whether any correlation exists between the Piwi homologs with HPV oncoproteins in cervical cancer. To begin with, the expression pattern of Piwi proteins were evaluated … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
