| Abstract: | To the editor: We thank Dr. Zidar and Dr. Gale for their timely and detailed comments on our paper [1]. Indeed, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a multifaceted process driven by an intricate network of molecular mechanisms which to date remain incompletely understood, due to the extraordinary complexity of their regulation [2]. These processes include changes in cell adhesion and shape, gene expression, and extensive cross-talk between signaling pathways that create complex biochemical networks [2, 3], of which the final result in cancer is the development of mesenchymal-like cells with enhanced capacity for invasion, migration, and dissemination[3]. |
