30 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Metastasis is unequivocally the most lethal aspect of breast cancer and the most prominent feature associated with disease recurrence, the molecular mechanisms whereby epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) mediates the initiation and resolution of breast cancer metastasis remains poorly understood.
