Gene expression profile of oral squamous cell carcinomas from Sri Lankan betel quid users
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-11)Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the major health problems in Sri Lanka and the disease is associated with the habit of Betel Quid (BQ) chewing. Using 35k oligo microarrays, we analyzed the gene expression ... -
The Low Affinity Nerve Growth Factor Receptor p75NTR Identifies a Transient Stem Cell-Like State in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-12)Background Although several markers have been used for enrichment of cells with stem cell-like properties in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), isolation of a pure subpopulation is still a challenging task. Normal oral ... -
Nanodiamond modified copolymer scaffolds affects tumour progression of early neoplastic oral keratinocytes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)This study aimed to evaluate the tumorigenic potential of functionalising poly(LLA-co-CL) scaffolds. The copolymer scaffolds were functionalised with nanodiamonds (nDP) or with nDP and physisorbed BMP-2 (nDP-PHY) to enhance ... -
