Abstract

Keratin 76 (Krt76) is an epithelial differentiation marker that is downregulated in oral squamous cell carcinomas, correlating with poor prognosis. Here the authors show that genetic ablation of Krt76 in a mouse model results in increased susceptibility to carcinogenesis via enhanced accumulation of Tregs.
