EMTome: a resource for pan-cancer analysis of epithelial-mesenchymal transition genes and signatures
10 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) enables dissociation of tumour cells from the primary tumour mass, invasion through the extracellular matrix, intravasation into blood vessels and colonisation of distant organs. Cells that revert to the epithelial state via the mesenchymal-epithelial transition cause metastases, the primary cause of death in cancer patients. EMT also empowers cancer cells...
