    Glossary Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition

    cells change from stationary epithelial to mobile mesenchymal

    Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is a biological process where epithelial cells, which are usually stationary and form tight layers, transform into mesenchymal cells, which are more mobile and can migrate. This process is crucial in various physiological contexts, such as wound healing and embryonic development, but it also plays a role in pathological conditions like cancer metastasis and fibrosis.
