Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, cell polarity and stemness-associated features in malignant pleural mesothelioma.

abstract：:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a characteristic locally aggressive tumor in which hypoxia levels are very high, causing a low response to chemotherapy and providing basic resistance to anticancer drugs. Tumoral hypoxia directly depends on hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF). The goal of this paper is to describe H...
