Abstract
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that may be responsible for cancer cell proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and immune regulation. However, little is known about the associations of different nAChR subunits with tumor microenvironment in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Subjects
epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT); immune responses; nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR); oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); smoking
