Quest of EMT and CSC
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Medical Research - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), an important phenotypic change from epithelial to mesenchymal like cells, has the increasing impact for cancer progression in terms of the involvement in cancer stem cell (CSC). The EMT-featured cells and CSCs are important factors for the acquisition of cancer drug resistance. The understanding of EMT program activation is important for targeting CSCs in cancer therapy. The relationship between EMT and CSC in cancer therapeutics is focused in the editorial.
