The many regulators of epithelial−mesenchymal transition

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology volume 23, pages 89–90 (2022)Cite this article

Subjects

Epithelial−mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a complex, highly regulated process that is reportedly controlled by hundreds of transcription factors and hundreds of microRNAs. Here we discuss whether the complexity of the process necessitates so many regulators, or whether many ‘false positives’ are reported in the literature.
