Descriptor English: Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
Descriptor Spanish: Transición Epitelial-Mesenquimal
Descriptor transición epiteliomesenquimatosa
Entry term(s) transición epitelial-mesenquimatosa
transición mesenquimoepitelial
Scope note: Cambios fenotípicos de las CÉLULAS EPITELIALES a las de tipo del MESÉNQUIMA, lo cual aumenta la movilidad celular, que es fundamental en muchos procesos de desarrollo, como el desarrollo del TUBO NEURAL. Las METÁSTASIS NEOPLÁSICAS y la PROGRESIÓN DE ENFERMEDADES también pueden inducir esta transición.

Tree number(s): G04.356.500
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D058750
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.
Annotation: epithelial-mesenchymal transition may occur in the progression of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases
Allowable Qualifiers: DE drug effects
