Brief Title: Using MASL to Combat Oral Cancer
Official Title: Using Maackia Amurensis Seed Lectin to Target the Podoplanin Receptor as a Functionally Relevant Biomarker to Inhibit the Growth of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Precancerous Lesions
Study ID: NCT04188665
Brief Summary: This project will evaluate the expression of a receptor called podoplanin (PDPN) in cells from oral cancers and precancerous lesions. We will also determine how sensitive oral cancer cells are to a potential drug called Maackia amurensis seed lectin (MASL).
