Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Colorectal Cancer: Gaining Insights into Tumor Progression Using LIM 1863 Cells
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
In addition to allowing epithelial cells to escape the structural constraints imposed by tissue architecture and adopt a phenotype more amenable to cell movement, it is now recognized that the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) may also represent a critical component permitting the progression of carcinomas towards invasive and metastatic disease. However, data supporting the actual occurrence of EMT in...
