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...
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...
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...
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...
The epithelial–mesenchymal transition: new insights in signaling, development, and disease
The conversion of an epithelial cell to a mesenchymal cell is critical to metazoan embryogenesis and a defining structural feature of organ development. Current interest in this...
