Abstract excerpt
Poor prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) results from resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. To uncover the drivers of HNSCC resistance, including stemness and hypoxia, in this study, we compared the gene expression between CD44+ and CD44- HNSCC cells and assessed the correlation of CD44 and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) expression with mouse features and outcomes of patients...
