Epithelial cells repress epithelial characteristics and elaborate mesenchymal characteristics
to migrate to other locations and acquire new properties. Epithelial plasticity responses are …

During development and in the context of different morphogenetic events, epithelial cells
undergo a process called epithelial to mesenchymal transition or transdifferentiation (EMT) …

The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is one of the processes by which epithelial
cells transdifferentiate into mesenchymal cells in the developmental stage, known as …

The molecular mechanisms that underlie tumour progression are still poorly understood, but
recently our knowledge of particular aspects of some of these processes has increased …

Transitory phenotypic changes such as the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) help
embryonic cells to generate migratory descendants that populate new sites and establish …

Epithelial cancers make up the vast majority of cancer types and, during the transition from
benign adenoma to malignant carcinoma and metastasis, epithelial tumor cells acquire a de …

Epithelial–mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) occur as key steps during embryonic
morphogenesis, and are now implicated in the progression of primary tumors towards …

Remarkable phenotype plasticity of epithelial cells underlies morphogenesis, epithelial
repair and tumor invasiveness. Detailed understanding of the contextual cues and molecular …

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process whereby fully differentiated epithelial
cells undergo transition to a mesenchymal phenotype giving rise to fibroblasts and …

TGF-β (transforming growth factor-β) and BMP-7 (bone morphogenetic protein-7), two key
members in the TGF-β superfamily, play important but diverse roles in CKDs (chronic kidney …
