Abstract excerpt
Mesenchymal-epithelial transformation (MET) is an important process in the embryogenesis of organisms. In an attempt to study the mechanism of MET, we present here the identification of a cloned human chondrosarcoma cell line, the SW1353, that is capable of converting to cells with an obvious epithelial phenotype. The transformation of the fibroblast-like SW1353 cells to epithelial cells occurred in a defined...
