Genetic and Pharmacologic Inhibition of mTORC1 Promotes EMT by a TGF-β–Independent Mechanism
28 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a transdifferentiation process that converts epithelial cells into highly motile mesenchymal cells. This physiologic process occurs largely during embryonic development but is aberrantly reactivated in different pathologic situations, including fibrosis and cancer. We conducted a siRNA screening targeted to the human kinome with the aim of discovering new EMT...
