The contribution of TGF-β in Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition (EMT): Down-regulation of E-cadherin via snail
1 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: TGF-β plays a central role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is a highly conserved and reversible process that governs tumor development, invasion and metastasis. Through this transition, the epithelial cell acquires a migratory behavior which allows it to move away from the cell community and to integrate into the surrounding tissue. The cells lost epithelial phenotypes including the...
