Abstract
Iterative cycles of epithelial‒mesenchymal transition (EMT) and mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) are responsible for epithelial plasticity necessary to achieve functional wound closure. Restoration of the barrier function of the repaired skin is a hallmark of functional wound closure. Both EMT and MET are subject to control by glycemic status. A new article by Tan et al (2020) supports the notion that hyperglycemia blunts epithelial plasticity.Entities:
