Biomarkers for epithelial-mesenchymal transitions
Somatic cells that change from one mature phenotype to another exhibit the property of plasticity. It is increasingly clear that epithelial and endothelial cells enjoy some of t...
Variable β-catenin expression in colorectal cancers indicates tumor progression driven by the tumor environment
Invasion and dissemination of well-differentiated carcinomas are often associated with loss of epithelial differentiation and gain of mesenchyme-like capabilities of the tumor c...
The mesenchymal cell, its role in the embryo, and the remarkable signaling mechanisms that create it
Abstract This review centers on the role of the mesenchymal cell in development. The creation of this cell is a remarkable process, one where a tightly knit, impervious epitheli...
The Snail genes as inducers of cell movement and survival: implications in development and cancer
The functions of the Snail family of zinc-finger transcription factors are essential during embryonic development. One of their best-known functions is to induce epithelial to m...
The basics of epithelial-mesenchymal transition
The origins of the mesenchymal cells participating in tissue repair and pathological processes, notably tissue fibrosis, tumor invasiveness, and metastasis, are poorly understoo...
