Targeted degradation of the HPV oncoprotein E6 reduces tumor burden in cervical cancer

Human papillomavirus (HPV) remains a global health burden, yet there are no targeted therapies for HPV-related cancers. The HPV E6 protein is essential for tumorigenesis and immune evasion, making it an attractive target for antiviral drug development. In this study, we developed an E6-targeting proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) that inhibits the growth of HPV
