Meet Dorcas Obiri-Yeboah, IPVS Country Ambassador for Ghana 🇬🇭 With 2 other country ambassadors, Dorcas is striving to advance the understanding and control of #HPV through research, education, and advocacy in Ghana. Thank you for the tremendous efforts Dorcas ! #papillomavirus

In HPV-infected cells, the regulation of innate immune surveillance pathways, #DNA damage repair, and metabolism through R-loop formation may have functional impacts on cellular gene expression and #HPV-pathogenesis Read the paper 👉 bit.ly/4axRykr #IPVSPaperOfTheWeek

Data from 830,000 women in the Swedish #HPV-based cervical screening program showed that the declines of HPV16/18 were considerably larger than #HPVvaccination coverage, suggesting herd immunity effects bit.ly/4hqKitm Journal of Infectious Diseases Joakim Dillner Karolinska Institutet #OpenAcess

Whole-genome sequencing of HPV+ #HNSCC reveals intratumor #HPV integration heterogeneity, its link to APOBEC-induced broad/focal genomic instability, minimal smoking impact, ATM haploinsufficiency, & early PI3K activation in carcinogenesis Read the paper 👉go.nature.com/3X0pNLF

Philipp Münick & colleagues at Goethe University designed a protein that blocks #HPV E6 from degrading p53, restoring its tumor-suppressing function and highlighting a potential therapeutic strategy for HPV-related #cancers Access the paper 👉 bit.ly/3DcWYoU NatureStructMolBiol

New study published JNCI on the risk of #HPV-related squamous cell carcinomas in 7936 survivors of autologous or allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation #openaccess: bit.ly/3RIvcUE #HPV #IPVSPaperOfTheWeek

Cervical Cancer treatment studies show no survival advantage of chemoradiotherapy over radiotherapy alone. These results support a more selective approach, reducing unnecessary toxicity for patients with intermediate-risk cervical cancer JAMA Oncology 👉 bit.ly/3YC63yO

A new therapeutic opportunity in HPV-related cancer: Hybrid ecDNA boosts E6 and E7 expression via viral & host enhancers. Targeting it with CRISPRi or BET inhibition suppresses ecDNA(+) tumors. Read the paper 👉 bit.ly/42Lk2nl #CancerResearch #HPV

HPV test results aren’t just "new infection vs clearance": many are reactivations or low-level persistence. A new #IPVS review urges framing as “HPV detected” vs “not detected” to better guide counseling, screening & vaccination. 👉bit.ly/4cUR09k #IPVSPaperOfTheWeek

#BetaHPV49, linked to skin cancer, uses a splice site in E6 previously seen only in #highrisk alpha-HPV. This site regulates E6 levels and is essential for keratinocyte immortalisation, revealing similarities in #viralpathogenesis. ➡️bit.ly/4dTHST5 #IPVSPaperOfTheWeek

Can HPV in semen affect fertility outcomes? This prospective cohort study examined HPV prevalence in infertile men and its potential impact on ART success. While no major effects were found, subtle trends suggest HPV status may still matter👉bit.ly/3Tkt1aC BMC

#HPV-driven head and neck cancers lack accessible early detection tools. This study compares blood-based biomarkers head-to-head, identifying the most promising approach for non-invasive diagnosis. A step forward in #LiquidBiopsy for #HPVcancer➡️bit.ly/40X3Vmz
