An In Vitro Model That Recapitulates the Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Human Breast Cancer
15 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a developmental program in which epithelial cells down-regulate their cell-cell junctions, acquire spindle cell morphology and exhibit cellular motility. In human breast cancer, invasion into surrounding tissue is the first step in metastatic progression. Here, we devised an in vitro model using selected cell lines, which recapitulates many features of EMT as...
