Abstract
Wound healing is a dynamic event where barrier disruption is transient and miR-198/FSTL1 molecular switch orchestrate wound re-epithelialization. However, epithelial carcinomas maintain a prolonged wound-healing phase to promote malignant transformation. Delineating the molecular mechanism we demonstrate, how epidermal growth factor (EGF) hijacks the wound-healing switch to promote metastasis of carcinoma.Entities:
