Epithelial-mesenchymal transition in glioblastoma progression
14 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a reversible biological process that occurs in epithelial cells. EMT ultimately leads to the acquisition of a mesenchymal phenotype, characterized by increased cell motility and resistance to genotoxic agents.
