IGF2BP2 and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: Proteins encoded by IGF2BP play a substantial role in the metabolic processes of tumours, with particular emphasis on their involvement in the metabolic pathways of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).39 Corresponding to our research, IGF2BP2 has been found to be upregulated in OSCC promoting OSCC progression in many other studies.
