Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition—A Hallmark of Breast Cancer Metastasis
1 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly conserved cellular program that converts polarized, immotile epithelial cells to migratory mesenchymal cells. In addition, EMT was initially recognized as a key step for morphogenesis during embryonic development. Emerging evidences indicate that this important developmental program promotes metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor recurrence, features that are...
