Structural and functional roles of conserved residues of human papillomavirus (HPV) E2 protein and biological consequences by Sean Fletcher, Esther E. Biswas-Fiss, Subhasis B. Biswas

“…The HPV E2 protein is a central regulator of viral replication and oncogene expression, making it a critical determinant of HPV-associated malignancies. While its core functions are conserved, variations within the E2 protein are thought to contribute to the differential oncogenic potential among HPV types, though the structural basis for this remains incompletely understood. …”

Morphometric Assessment of Convergent Tool Technology and Function during the Early Middle Palaeolithic: The Case of Payre, France. by M Gema Chacón, Florent Détroit, Aude Coudenneau, Marie-Hélène Moncel

“…Several statistically significant relationships are found between shape variation and use-wear attributes, though the results emphasize the large variability of the shape of the convergent tools, which, in general, does not show a strong direct association with technological features and function. This is in good agreement with the technological context of this chronological period, characterized by a wide diversity of non-standardized tools adapted to multipurpose functions for varied subsistence activities.…”
