Abstract excerpt
This paper is the first in a series aimed at understanding the role of beta-catenin in epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) and acquisition of mesenchymal invasive motility. Here, we compare the expression of this and related molecules in the two major tissue phenotypes, epithelial and mes...
