Epithelial–mesenchymal transition is regulated at post‐transcriptional levels by transforming growth factor‐β signaling during tumor progression

Abstract excerpt

Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β acts as a tumor suppressor during cancer initiation, but as a tumor promoter during tumor progression. It has become increasingly clear that TGF-β plays fundamental roles in multiple steps of tumor progression, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The EMT, first described by developmental biologists at the beginning of the 1980s, plays crucial roles in appropriate...
