p21/waf1 and Smooth-Muscle Actin α Expression in Stromal Fibroblasts of Oral Cancers
Background: Concerted alterations between stromal fibroblasts and neoplastic cells underline the carcinogenic process. Activation of alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) expression, a cytoskeleton protein normally expressed only in myoepithelial cells, is considered a landmark for the activation of strom...
