Mammary progenitors identified by a new marker, ICAM-1, undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition and luminal-to-basal switch in response to paracrine Met activation.
Zebrafish embryo screen utilizing conserved mechanisms between cancer metastasis and zebrafish gastrulation identifies the HTR2C inhibitor pizotifen as anti-metastasis drugs.
Adult stem cells sense nearby tissue damage and recruit immune cells to help them direct efforts towards containing a breach in the epithelial barrier.
