Abstract

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a mechanism for generating primitive mesenchymal cells during gastrulation or mobile tumor cells during cancer metastasis. For 15 years, EMT has also been viewed as a principal source of fibroblasts in tissue fibrosis. Because several recent studies question its role in fibrogenesis, it seems like a good time for debate.
