The characteristics of VM and its underlying mechanism in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remain unclear. This study aims to determine the relationship between VM channels in OSCC tissues and clinical outcomes and to investigate the biological role of SOX7 in VM in OSCC cells.Methods: CD31/PAS double staining was performed to evaluate VM status in OSCC tissue. The relationships between VM … Show more
