Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) recurs in the allograft after liver transplantation. Study of early tissue changes in the time-course of disease recurrence provides a unique insight into the initial stages of the disease process, which, in nontransplant patients, occurs long before clinical presenta

## Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by myofibroblast accumulation, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and excessive collagen deposition. ECM‐producing myofibroblasts may originate from epithelial cells through epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). TGF‐β1 is an induc
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. It is believed that epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) occurs during the development and progression of cancer; however, the correlation between tobacco smoking and EMT remains to be elucidated. ## METHODS. Cells from the bronchioloalveolar carcinoma cell line A54
## Abstract In the current study, we investigated the mechanism relating downregulation of mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) expression to development of ovarian cancer. Over‐expression of the MKK4 gene in TOV‐21 G cells, a line with homozygous deletion of MKK4, resulted in morpholog
## Abstract Epithelial cancer cells are likely to undergo epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) prior to entering the peripheral circulation. By undergoing EMT, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) lose epithelial markers and may escape detection by conventional methods. Therefore, we conducted a pilot
