EMT and Cancer: More Than Meets the Eye

Abstract

Epithelial cells acquire mesenchymal characteristics during development, wound healing and inflammation, and in cancer and fibrosis. With increasing appreciation of different roles of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), we address the question of how to define and recognize EMT processes and discuss their properties in cancer progression.
