Comprehensive profiling of novel epithelial–mesenchymal transition mediators and their clinical significance in colorectal cancer

Abstract Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a drastic phenotypic change during cancer metastasis and is one of the most important hallmarks of aggressive cancer. Although the overexpression of some specific transcription factors explains the functional alteration of EMT-induced cells, a comp...
