Abstract:While infection with high‐risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types is necessary for cervical cancer (CC) development, it is not enough, and other risk factors are required. Several studies have reported the activation of HERV‐K in different cancers; however, the investigation of HERV‐K expression levels in CC is scarce. In this study, it was hypothesized that activation of HERV‐K could play an essential role in CC development. In this order, the expression levels of HERV‐K Env, Np9, and Rec transcripts were inves… 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.
