Constructing the HBV-human protein interaction network to understand the relationship between HBV and hepatocellular carcinoma
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Epidemiological studies have clearly validated the association between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients with chronic HBV infection are at increased risk of HCC, in particular those with a...
