Adenovirus E1A, simian virus 40 tumor antigen, and human papillomavirus E7 protein share the capacity to disrupt the interaction between transcription factor E2F and the retinoblastoma gene product.

TL;DR: The ability of E1A, the simian virus 40 large tumor antigen, and E7 to dissociate the E2F-pRb complex may be a common activity of these viral proteins that has evolved to stimulate quiescent cells into a proliferating state so that viral replication can proceed efficiently.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI

Call for standardized definitions of osteoarthritis and risk stratification for clinical trials and clinical use.

TL;DR: The goals of this review are to stimulate use of standardized nomenclature for OA that could serve as building blocks for describing OA and defining OA phenotypes to provide unifying disease concepts for a heterogeneous disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
