Abstract
Introduction: Co-infection of high-risk human papillomaviruses (HR-HPVs) with human polyomaviruses, such as Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), may indicate a potential synergistic effect. This study focused on the role of the MCPyV sT protein, which shares similarities with HPV oncoproteins in disrupting cellular regulatory mechanisms. This research aimed to investigate the effect ...
