Epithelial–mesenchymal transition in cancer development and its clinical significance
28 Oct 2009

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a critical role in embryonic development. EMT is also involved in cancer progression and metastasis and it is probable that a common molecular mechanism is shared by these processes.
