Researchers at Macquarie University have identified how oral cancer cells may evade the immune system, potentially leading to better treatments for the disease. The study, published in the Journal of Oral Biosciences, focused on protein interactions that prevent immune cells from attacking oral cancer cells. The research highlighted the role of a protein called STAT3 and its interactions in oral cancer cells. The team discovered that targeting these proteins could enhance the immune response against oral cancer and potentially overcome drug resistance. The findings provide new insights into oral cancer treatment strategies and offer hope for patients with aggressive forms of the disease.
