Abstract
The relevance and underlying molecular mechanisms of epigenetic regulation in squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) await further characterization. Here, the authors show a transcriptional regulatory loop involving SREBF1, TP63 and KLF5 driving tumourigenesis in SCC through fatty acid, ERBB and mTOR pathway regulation.
