Abstract excerpt
Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a programme defined in epithelial cells and recognized as playing a critical role in cancer progression. Although melanoma is not a cancer of epithelial cells, hallmarks of EMT have been described to play a critical role in melanoma progression. Here, we demonstrate that long-term TGFβ exposure can induce a dedifferentiated EMT-like state resembling a previously...
