Epithelial–mesenchymal transition: The history, regulatory mechanism, and cancer therapeutic opportunities
18 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a program wherein epithelial cells lose their junctions and polarity while acquiring mesenchymal properties and invasive ability. Originally defined as an embryogenesis event, EMT has been recognized as a crucial process in tumor progression. During EMT, cell-cell junctions and cell-matrix attachments are disrupted, and the cytoskeleton is remodeled to enhance mobility...
