    Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a prevalent cancer with limited therapeutic advancements and poor patient survival rates.

  • 2

    The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a crucial role in OSCC progression and immune evasion, influencing tumor behavior and therapy resistance.

  • 3

    Integrin β1 (ITGβ1) is a key regulator of ECM interactions, promoting immune evasion and tumor spread through various signaling pathways.

  • 4

    The ITGβ1-CLIC1 axis is identified as a significant mechanism in OSCC, with both proteins co-overexpressed and linked to poor prognosis.

  • 5

    Next-generation tumor-mimetic ECM models enable the study of ITGβ1 and CLIC1 interactions, offering new therapeutic targets for OSCC.
