MeSH Heading: Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
Tree Number(s): G04.356.500
Unique ID: D058750
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D058750
Annotation: epithelial-mesenchymal transition may occur in the progression of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases
Scope Note: Phenotypic changes of EPITHELIAL CELLS to MESENCHYME type, which increase cell mobility critical in many developmental processes such as NEURAL TUBE development. NEOPLASM METASTASIS and DISEASE PROGRESSION may also induce this transition.
