Post-Translational Control of IL-1β via the Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E6 Oncoprotein: A Novel Mechanism of Innate Immune Escape Mediated by the E3-Ubiquitin Ligase E6-AP and p53

TL;DR: In this paper, a post-translational mechanism of pro-IL-1β degradation by the high-risk human papillomavirus (HPVs) oncoprotein abrogates IL-1α processing and secretion in a NALP3 inflammasome-independent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta analysis: HPV and p16 pattern determines survival in patients with HNSCC and identifies potential new biologic subtype

TL;DR: HNSCC patients down-staged according to the HPV-dependant TNM are at risk for undertreatment and data in clinical trials may be skewed due to false patient inclusion, according to a meta-analysis of clinical outcomes of the distinct subgroups with combined p16 and HPV detection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors for extrapulmonary dissemination of tuberculosis and associated mortality during treatment for extrapulmonary tuberculosis

TL;DR: Age ≥45 years, HIV+ status, excessive alcohol use within the past 12 months, ESRD, and abnormal chest radiographs were independent risk factors for EPTB mortality during TB treatment, and epidemiologic risk factors identified by multivariate analyses provide new information that may be useful to health professionals in managing patients with E PTB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stem cells in squamous head and neck cancer.

TL;DR: Therapeutic targeting of CSC may improve clinical outcome of HNSCC which has two distinct etiologies: infection of epithelial stem cells by high-risk types of the human papillomavirus, or long-term tobacco and alcohol abuse.
