How does HPV cause cancer? Our researchers @michaelhoffman @MatLupien @ScottBratman dive deep into how viral HPV DNA gets into the human genome, causing disruptive effects that drive cancer formation. Published in @GenomeBiology @SpringerNature doi.org/10.1186/s13059-023-0…
1/Now on @biorxivpreprint: how HPV integration into the human genome disrupts local chromatin and drives oncogenesis. A very different path from the established mechanism for HPV oncogenesis, which isn't integration-dependent. By @MKarimzade et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
