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.
获得完全恶性表型受到多种障碍的限制,包括细胞衰老以及经历上皮-间质转化(EMT)的必要性。这些过程的失调被认为主要是由独立事件引起的。在本期《癌细胞》杂志中,安西奥等人(2008年)对这一观点提出了质疑。
