Role of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Colorectal Cancer
1 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cellular reprogramming process that occurs during embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. This process involves epithelial cells acquiring a mesenchymal phenotype. Through EMT, cancer cells acquire properties associated with a more aggressive phenotype. EMT and its opposite, mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), have been described in more tumors...
