## Abstract The recently discovered human polyomavirus (MCPyV) is frequently found in Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) tissue and is believed to be causally linked to MCC pathogenesis. While cell lines established from MCC represent a valuable tool to study the contribution of MCPyV to MCC pathogenesis,
## Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly aggressive skin cancer that frequently harbours Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) DNA integrated in the genome of the tumor cells. In our study, we elaborate our recent finding that MCVβpositive MCC cell lines require the expression of the viral T an
## Abstract ## Background An overexpression of PIN1, the peptidylβprolyl cisβtrans isomerase, might cause cell cycle arrest and growth inhibition by binding to the p53 protein, a process leading to p53 stabilization. The rationale of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the expression patte
