Emerging evidence of epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in lung carcinogenesis
28 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a developmental programme that regulates embryonic morphogenesis and involves significant morphological and molecular changes in cells. Experimental models have revealed that EMT also contributes to various malignant features of cancer cells, including motile, invasive, anti-apoptotic and stem-like phenotypes. Clinically, correlative studies have indicated that...
