Hybrid E/M Phenotype(s) and Stemness: A Mechanistic Connection Embedded in Network Topology
Hybrid E/M Phenotype(s) and Stemness: A Mechanistic Connection Embedded in Network Topology
Metastasis remains an unsolved clinical challenge. Two crucial features of metastasizing cancer cells are (a) their ability to dynamically move along the epithelial–hybrid–mesenchymal spectrum and (b) their tumor initiation potential or stemness. With increasing functional characterization of hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal (E/M) phenotypes along the spectrum, recent in vitro and in vivo …
