Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tumor stem cells (TSCs) play a central role in oral mucosal carcinogenesis by promoting tumor growth, invasion, and angiogenesis. Microvascular architectural phenotype heterogeneity (MAPH) and vasculogenic mimicry (VM) contribute to vascular complexity within tumors and resistance to conventional anti-angiogenic therapies. However, the mechanisms through which TSCs influence MAPH and VM formation...
