Silencing of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) inhibits proliferation, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma is characterized by high rates of morbidity and mortality. Evidence obtained for different types of cancer shows that tumor initiation, progression, and therapeutic resistance are regulated by heat shock factor 1. This research aimed to analyze the effects of heat shock factor 1 on the biological behavior of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Purpose: To develop a mobile application (app) for oral cancer screening.

Methods: The app was developed using Android system version 4.4.

Can application of universal primers alone be a substitute for airborne-particle abrasion to improve adhesion of resin cement to zirconia?

Purpose: To determine whether universal primers alone can deliver similar levels of adhesion of resin cement to zirconia ceramic when compared to their application in conjunction with airborne-particle abrasion.

Materials And Methods: Sintered zirconia blocks (N = 160) (Lava, 3M ESPE), (5.25 × 5.
