Understanding the function of oral mucosal epithelial barriers is essential for a plethora of
research fields such as tumor biology, inflammation and infection diseases, microbiomics …

Alongside cancer cells, tumours exhibit a complex stroma containing a repertoire of cells,
matrix molecules and soluble factors that actively crosstalk between each other. Recognition …

Background: Tumour budding has been reported as a promising prognostic marker in many
cancers. This meta-analysis assessed the prognostic value of tumour budding in oral …

Aims Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) has a relatively poor outcome, and
there is a need to identify better prognostic factors. Recently, tumour–stroma ratio (TSR) has …

The invasion front of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) harbors the most aggressive
cells of the tumor and is critical for cancer invasion and metastasis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) …

miR-940 is a microRNA located on chromosome 16p13. 3, which has varying degrees of
expression imbalance in many diseases. It binds to the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) and …

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important
regulators of human cancers. However, the functional roles of lncRNAs and the mechanisms …

Background: Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) is a common type of oral
tumor. LncRNAs (long noncoding RNAs) and miRNAs (microRNAs) were identified as …

Objective Although there have been remarkable achievements in the molecular landscape
of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in recent years, bringing advances in the …

Circular RNAs (circRNA) are special noncoding RNAs. They are widely present, but with
unknown functions. Recent studies have shown that many endogenous circRNAs have …
