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...
Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions: the importance of changing cell state in development and disease
The events that convert adherent epithelial cells into individual migratory cells that can invade the extracellular matrix are known collectively as epithelial-mesenchymal trans...
Bypassing cellular EGF receptor dependence through epithelial-to-mesenchymal-like transitions
Over 90% of all cancers are carcinomas, malignancies derived from cells of epithelial origin. As carcinomas progress, these tumors may lose epithelial morphology and acquire mes...
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...
