Integration of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA into liver cell DNA has been well established, but
its implication in liver carcinogenesis is still being debated. In particular, insertion of the viral …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core, known to be involved in liver carcinogenesis, is processed in
the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We thus investigated the impact of three HCV core isolates …
