Advancing the field of viroporins—Structure, function and pharmacology: IUPHAR Review 39
Viroporins possess important potential as antiviral targets due to their critical roles during virus life cycles, spanning from virus entry to egress. Although the antiviral amantadine targets the M2 viroporin of influenza A virus, successful progression of other viroporin inhibitors into clinical use remains challenging.

Abstract Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide and is caused by persistent infection with high‐risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV viral load, the amount of HPV DNA in a sample, has been suggested to correlate with cervical disease severity, and with clinical outcome of cervical cancer. In this systematic review,
