Article Abstract
Complex cannibalism (CxC) is an emerging new seeming entity in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) embody as a prime metabolic event in determining the aggressive potential. Owing to paucity in literature regarding it, the aim of the present study to deciphering the occurrence of CxC in OSCC. Further, the expression of cluster of differentiation 68 (CD68) was studied in tumor cells and correlated with CxC to ascertain the biological behaviour of OSCC. 30 Hematoxylin and Eosin stained sections of various grades of OSCC were scanned for CxC and correlated with clinicopathological parameters. Immunohistochemical analysis using CD68 was performed. While observing CxC in OSCC, statistically significant in age (p-0.048) and histological grades (p-0.004). CD68 expression in tumor cells was statistically significant in histopathological grades ( < 0.001) whereas on correlating with CxC ( - 0.171) was non-significant. The analogous rise in CxC and CD68 with increasing histopathological grades could aid in recognising CxC as a precise histopathological parameter to assess the aggressive biological potential in OSCC.

The CRISPR/Cas12a technology has revolutionized molecular diagnostics. However, existing Cas12a systems depend on continuous target DNA activation, which limits them to single-target detection. In this study, we developed a novel topology-guided Cas12a system, the double-target responsive (DTR) system, capable of being activated by noncontiguous dual RNA/DNA targets.

Metastasis in its micro and macro state contributes to the poor survival and prognosis rate in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) patients. Conventional anti-cancer treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are known for their non-selective killing of rapidly dividing cells, both normal and cancer. To address the drawbacks arising from these modalities, we aimed to target the Glucocorticoid Receptors (GR) of OSCC to selectively co-deliver the Paclitaxel and p53 gene that induces the drug sensitivity and cytotoxicity, thereby inducing the mesenchymal-epithelial transition.

Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a heritable syndrome characterized by DNA damage repair deficits, frequent malformations and a significantly elevated risk of bone marrow failure, leukemia, and mucosal head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy can prevent marrow failure and lower leukemia risk, but mucosal gene therapy to lower HNSCC risk remains untested. Major knowledge gaps include an incomplete understanding of how rapidly gene-corrected cellular lineages could spread through the oral epithelium, and which delivery parameters are critical for ensuring efficient gene correction.

Objective: Intraoral ultrasonography (US) is known for its high accuracy in evaluating the depth of invasion (DOI) in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). However, measurement discrepancies, such as overestimation or underestimation, can occur in certain cases. This study aimed to identify factors affecting the measurement accuracy of intraoral US.
