Abstract
The oral epithelium, a dynamic interface constantly facing environmental challenges, relies on intricate molecular pathways to maintain its homeostasis. This comprehensive review delves into the nuanced interplay between T-lymphocytic cells (T cells) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) within the oral epithelium, elucidating their roles in orchestrating immune responses and influencing tissue plasticity. By synthesizing current knowledge, we aim to unravel the molecular intricacies that govern this interplay, with a focus on potential therapeutic implications for oral health and diseases. Understanding the regulatory networks shaped by T cells and RBPs in the oral epithelial microenvironment holds promise for innovative strategies in managing conditions associated with epithelial dysfunction.
