PTEN suppresses epithelial–mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cell activity by downregulating Abi1

Abstract The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an embryonic program frequently reactivated during cancer progression and is implicated in cancer invasion and metastasis. Cancer cells can also acquire stem cell properties to self-renew and give rise to new tumors through the EMT. Inactivatio...
