Description
Illustration of human papillomavirus on a dark background. Human papillomaviruses (HPV) form a group of DNA viruses that infect epithelial cells of the skin / mucosa and can cause uncontrolled tumor-like growth. This is usually benign, but can also lead to malignant changes over time (cervical carcinoma, anal carcinoma, etc.).
The illustration was designed in the style of a surface model with an implied ligament model and is based on structural data from Cardone, G., Moyer, A.L., Cheng, N., Thompson, C.D., Dvoretzky, I., Lowy, D.R., Schiller, J.T., Steven, A.C., Buck, C.B., Trus, B.L.
