New Insights on Molecular Mechanism of Hepatitis B Virus Covalently Closed Circular DNA Formation
The chronic factor of the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), specifically the covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), is a highly stable and active viral episomal genome established in the livers of chronic hepatitis B patients as a constant source of disease. Being able to target and eliminate cccDNA is the...
