Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT): A biological process in the development, stem cell differentiation, and tumorigenesis
13 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
The lineage transition between epithelium and mesenchyme is a process known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), by which polarized epithelial cells lose their adhesion property and obtain mesenchymal cell phenotypes. EMT is a biological process that is often involved in embryogenesis and diseases, such as cancer invasion and metastasis. The EMT and the reverse process, mesenchymal-epithelial transition...
