Genetic programs of epithelial cell plasticity directed by transforming growth factor-β
5 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) are an essential manifestation of epithelial cell plasticity during morphogenesis, wound healing, and tumor progression. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) modulates epithelial plasticity in these physiological contexts by inducing EMT. Here we report a transcriptome screen of genetic programs of TGF-beta-induced EMT in human keratinocytes and propose functional...
