Abstract:
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition( EMT) refers to the transdifferentiation from epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells. The initial understanding of EMT is originated from the research on embryonic develop-ment,followed by the discovery of EMT phenomenon in physiological and pathological process in multicellular organism. In recent years,the occurrence and development of infiltration and metastasis of tumor cells along with fibrotic diseases that related to EMT are becoming the hot researches nowadays.
