A team of scientists from A*STAR’s Institute of Medical Biology (IMB) and Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) together with clinicians from Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) have identified a unique set of cells in the cervix that are the cause of human papillomaviruses (HPV) related cervical cancers. Significantly, the team also showed that these cells do not regenerate when excised. These findings have immense clinical implications in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. The study was published in the prestigious journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), this week.
