SCC15 Tongue Squamous Carcinoma Cells (SCC15)

SCC15 cell line is a well-studied human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cell line that originates from the oral cavity. It was established from a biopsy of a 57-year-old male patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. SCC15 cells exhibit characteristics typical of squamous cell carcinomas, including aggressive growth, invasive potential, and resistance to certain treatments.

Researchers commonly use the SCC15 cell line to investigate various aspects of squamous cell carcinoma biology, such as tumor progression, metastasis, and response to different therapeutic interventions. By studying SCC15 cells, scientists aim to gain insights into the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of SCC development and identify potential targets for novel therapeutic strategies.

SCC15 cells have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of oral squamous cell carcinoma, a type of cancer that affects the mucosal lining of the oral cavity and oropharynx. Studies using SCC15 cells have contributed to the discovery of biomarkers, signaling pathways, and drug targets associated with squamous cell carcinoma, thereby playing a critical role in the development of new treatment approaches for this aggressive cancer.
