What is it about?
Cellular aging is responsible for epithelial thinning and relief from this mediates hyperplastic epithelium and malignant transformation in oral submucous fibrosis.

Why is it important?
This article gives a novel mechanism for oral submucous fibrosis development through the aging of epithelial and connective tissue compartments. Inhibition of this process has the potential to restore epithelial homeostasis.
Perspectives
Targetting and destroying the aging cells might help in restoring the epithelial homeostasis and normal healing pattern in oral submucous fibrosis.
