Abstract

HPV infections are common in healthy women and only rarely cause cervical cancer. He et al. provide evidence that hyperactivation of the YAP1 oncogene can drive cervical cancer initiation and progression. YAP1 hyperactivation in cervical epithelial cells increases the HPV receptors and disrupts host cell innate immunity, facilitating HPV infection.
