MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT)

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, typically 20–24 nucleotides in length, that play a key role in the post-transcriptional regulation…

Transcriptional Regulation in Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT)

Transcriptional regulation is a central mechanism in controlling epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), orchestrating the complex gene expression changes that allow epithelial…
