background and objective: genital warts, due to specific types of the human papillomavirus, have long been regarded as one of the most important causes of cervical cancer and one of the most common cause of sexually transmited diseases (stds).  over the years, it has been the focus of several studies in order to find the best effective approach to eradicate the virus, however there are still co...

The development of Drosophila imaginal discs to a large extent depends on the genetic interactions that take place at the border between anterior (A) and posterior (P) cells. These two populations of cells differ as the selector gene engrailed (en) is expressed in P cells but not in A cells. The limit between A and P cells is the compartment border and acts as a source of positional information...

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related diseases, including cancers, low-grade neoplasia, genital warts, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, have a substantial impact on public health. The increasing incidence of HPV infection and genital warts highlights the need for an effective strategy for the management of this disease. Immunization holds the promise of reducing the overall burden of clin...
