A hypoxic twist in metastasis (original) (raw)

Nature Cell Biology volume 10, pages 253–254 (2008)Cite this article

Hypoxia is a critical factor during tumour progression, regulating the expression of multiple factors implicated in tumour growth, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and invasive cell behaviour. We now learn that the EMT inducer Twist operates under the control of hypoxia signalling in the tumour microenvironment.
