Involvement of partial EMT in cancer progression
1 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) provides an outstanding example of cellular plasticity during embryonic development and cancer progression. During EMT in embryonic development, epithelial cells lose all vestiges of their epithelial origin and acquire a fully mesenchymal phenotype, known as complete EMT, which is typically characterized by a so-called cadherin switch. Conversely, during EMT in cancer...
