Deregulating EMT and senescence: double impact by a single twist
Abstract
The acquisition of a fully malignant phenotype is limited by several barriers, including cellular senescence and the requirement to undergo an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Deregulation of these processes is believed to occur by largely independent events. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Ansieau et al. (2008) challenge this view.
