New Actors Driving the Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition in Cancer: The Role of Leptin
Leptin is a hormone secreted mainly by adipocytes; physiologically, it participates in the control of appetite and energy expenditure. However, it has also been linked to tumor progression in different epithelial cancers. In this review, we describe the effect of leptin on epithelial–mesenchymal tra...
