In the United States, Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections and has been identified as a primary cause of cervical cancer in women.
Now, an international team of researchers led by the University of Missouri has completed studies on fruit flies with a condition that mimics a form of HPV-induced cancer. The fly models the team developed may help scientists understand the underlying mechanism by which this virus can cause cancer as well as identify potential drug treatments....
