Stabilized epithelial phenotype of cancer cells in primary tumors leads to increased colonization of liver metastasis in pancreatic cancer

Julienne L. Carstens et al.

Summary: The study indicates that partial epithelial to mesenchymal transition is associated with metastasis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and genetic suppression can lead to epithelial stabilization and increased liver metastasis.

Single-cell lineage tracing of metastatic cancer reveals selection of hybrid EMT states

Kamen P. Simeonov et al.

Summary: This study introduces a new inducible CRISPR-Cas9-based lineage recorder, macsGESTALT, and reveals that the metastatic potential of cells peaks in rare, late-hybrid EMT states, which are relevant to clinical disease progression.
