Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the knowledge and awareness of dental students and interns in Saudi Arabia about human papillomavirus (HPV) and oral cancer through a web-based survey of 451 participants.
- Results showed that dental interns had significantly better knowledge than undergraduate dental students in identifying oral cancer locations and symptoms, as well as understanding HPV's connection to AIDS and common warts.
- The study concluded that while overall knowledge about HPV and oral cancer is present, it is not optimal, highlighting the need for improved educational programs and training for dental students in Saudi Arabia.
The HOXA9 transcription factor serves as a molecular orchestrator in cancer stemness, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), metastasis, and generation of the tumor microenvironment in hematological and solid malignancies. However, the multiple modes of regulation, multifaceted functions, and context-dependent interactions responsible for the dual role of HOXA9 as an oncogene or tumor suppressor in cancer remain obscure. Hence, unravelling its molecular complexities, binding partners, and interacting signaling molecules enables us to comprehend HOXA9-mediated transcriptional programs and molecular crosstalk.

The present survey investigated the awareness and practice of dentists in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries regarding MRONJ.
Materials And Methods: This questionnaire-based study was conducted among dental practitioners in all six GCC countries.
