Host-microbe computational proteomic landscape in oral cancer revealed key functional and metabolic pathways between Fusobacterium nucleatum and cancer progression
Abstract Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common manifestation of oral cancer.It has been proposed that periodontal pathogens contribute to OSCC progression, mainly by their virulence factors.However, the main periodontal pathogen and its mechanism to modulate OSCC cells remains not fully understood.In this study we investigate the m
