Epithelial-mesenchymal transition
Series edited by Raghu Kalluri
 |
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) describes the series of events by which adherent, polarized epithelial cells convert to a mesenchymal cell phenotype, which includes an ability to both migrate and invade the extracellular matrix. As discussed in the articles in this Review series, EMT is now a recognized mechanism for dispersing cells in embryos, forming fibroblasts/mesenchymal cells in injured tissues, and initiating invasive and metastic behavior in epithelial cancer cells. |
