Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a type of cancer, and its prevalence can be associated with oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) strains

Caption

The cellular diversity and structural attributes within the tumor microenvironment of HNSCC due to HPV viral infection needs to be ascertained. Using samples from both HPV negative and HPV positive patients for single-cell RNA profiling and spatial transcriptomics, the molecular characteristics of HNSCC were studied.
