Comparative gene co-expression network analysis of epithelial to mesenchymal transition reveals lung cancer progression stages

Abstract Background The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a key role in lung cancer progression and drug resistance. The dynamics and stability of gene expression patterns as cancer cells transition from E to M at a systems level and relevance to patient outcomes are unknown. Methods...
