Epithelial–mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) enables cells to interconvert between several states across the epithelial–mesenchymal landscape, thereby acquiring hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal phenotypic features. This plasticity is crucial for embryonic development and wound healing, but also underlies the acquisition of several malignant traits during c...
In this issue of Developmental Cell, Lüönd et al. developed a tracing system, using the uncharacterized early epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-marker Tenascin C, to monitor cells undergoing partial EMT during malignant mammary cancer progression. They find that partial, but not full, EMT contributes to metastasis and that full EMT contribute...
