23 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial event in appropriate embryonic development as well as in wound healing, tissue repair and cancer progression in adult tissues. EMT endows cells with migratory and invasive properties, inhibits apoptosis and senescence, contributes to immunosuppression and induces stress resistance and stem cell properties. Many secreted polypeptide factors act in a sequential...
