What is Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT)?
Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is a biological process in which endothelial cells lose their specific markers and gain mesenchymal traits. This transition involves a change in cell phenotype, enabling the cells to acquire enhanced migratory capacity, invasiveness, and increased production of extracellular matrix (ECM) components.
