Journal ArticleDOI

The core protein of hepatitis C virus induces hepatocellular carcinoma in transgenic mice.

TL;DR: It is indicated that the HCV core protein has a chief role in the development of HCC, and that these transgenic mice provide good animal models for determining the molecular events in hepatocarcinogenesis with HCV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatitis C virus infection is associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma

TL;DR: There appears to be a strong association between HCV infection and the development of HCC, particularly in patients for which HBV infection cannot be implicated as a causative factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

HBx gene of hepatitis B virus induces liver cancer in transgenic mice

TL;DR: This transgenic animal model appears ideal for defining the molecular events that follow the expression of the viral HBx gene and are responsible for the development of liver cancer.
