Role of N-WASP in cell proliferation : implication for organ development and cancer by Verma, Apoorva

“…Development of organs such as lungs and mammary glands requires elongation and branching of epithelial tissues which are critically depended on apical-basal polarity, cell adhesion, cell proliferation and interactions with the extracellular matrix proteins. N-WASP has also been shown to regulate cell invasion and EMT (Epithelial to Mesenchymal transition), which are often upregulated during cancer progression. …”
