EMT transcription factors snail and slug directly contribute to cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a molecular process through which an epithelial cell undergoes transdifferentiation into a mesenchymal phenotype. The role of EMT in embryogenesis is well-characterized and increasing evidence suggests that elements of the transition may be important in other processes, including metastasis and drug resistance in various different cancers.
