We define cell morphodynamics as the cell's time dependent morphology. It could be called the cell's shape shifting ability. To measure it we use a biomarker free, dynamic histology method, which is based on multiplexed Cell Magneto-Rotation and Mach...
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its reverse process, mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), are believed to play key roles in facilitating the metastatic cascade. Metastatic lesions often exhibit a similar epithelial-like state to that ...
In recent years, personalized gene regulatory networks have received significant attention, and interpretation of the multilayer networks has been a critical issue for a comprehensive understanding of gene regulatory systems. Although several statist...
Facing metastasis is the most pressing challenge of cancer research. In this review, we discuss recent advances in understanding phenotypic plasticity of cancer cells, highlighting the kinetics of cancer stem cell and the role of the epithelial mesen...
Ovarian cancer is a highly metastatic disease. The metastatic potential is enhanced by epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in which αvβ3 integrin plays a role. Thyroid hormones (L-thyroxine, T4, and 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine, T3) bind this in...

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that fine particulate matter (PM) exposure causes airway inflammation, which may lead to lung cancer. The activation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is assumed to be a crucial step in lung tumor me...
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype characterized by its lack of estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors, leading to limited treatment options and poor prognosis. This review synthesizes current research on the tumor micr...
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the main cause of end‑stage renal disease, with epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) serving a key role in its initiation and progression. Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms involved remain unidentified. The present ...
The complex interplay between tumor cells and clusters with endothelial tissues during metastasis, in particular with regard to the exosomes in mediating intercellular communication, is still not well understood. Here, we develop a tumoral-transendot...
Resistance to chemotherapy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is largely driven by intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) due to tumor cell plasticity and clonal diversity. To develop alternative strategies to overcome this defined mechanism of res...
