Roles of hypoxia, stem cells and epithelial–mesenchymal transition in the spread and treatment resistance of head and neck cancer
7 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
Evidence from a wide range of studies indicates that hypoxia and the resulting cellular changes that are induced by HIF-1α lead to transcriptional up-regulation of a diversity of genes that play major roles in modifying the cellular behaviour of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Although the mechanisms of cell adaptation to hypoxia are still not entirely clear, many studies relate hypoxia to enhanced...
