TL;DR: In this article, the p16 protein expression in 34 tonsillar carcinoma was analyzed for correlation to HPV status and load of viral DNA, and a significant correlation of p16 expression with increased disease-free survival was found.

TL;DR: Real-time elastography is a new and promising sonography-based noninvasive method for the assessment of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic viral hepatitis, which can be performed with conventional ultrasound probes during a routine sonography examination.

TL;DR: Nonmelanoma skin cancer developed in HPV8-transgenic mice without any treatment with physical or chemical carcinogens, the first experimental proof of the carcinogenic potential of an epidermodysplasia verruciformis-associated HPV-type in vivo.

TL;DR: Short-term and selective depletion of hepatic macrophages at the same time significantly increased hepatic transgene expression and reduced the humoral immune response to the transgenic protein.

TL;DR: Positive correlations between LS, the degree of liver cell damage, and the intensity of HSC activation suggest that fibrosis is a response to ALF in an attempt to repair damaged tissue.
