Transforming Growth Factor-β Signaling during Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transformation: Implications for Embryogenesis and Tumor Metastasis
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanisms of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) have long been studied to gain a greater understanding of this distinct change in cellular morphology. Early studies of the developing embryo have designated the involvement of Wnt signaling in EMT, through an activated complex of the lymphoid-enhancing factor-1 (LEF-1) transcription factor and the cell adhesion molecule beta-catenin....
