DOI: 10.1002/ijc.32503
Abstract: Viruses can inhibit host autophagy through multiple mechanisms, and evasion of autophagy plays an important role in immune suppression and viral oncogenesis. Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) T‐antigens are expressed and involved in the pathogenesis of… read more here.
