Abstract:
Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a biological process that plays a critical role in cancer progression. Blocking the process of EMT can be an essential strategy in the development of anticancer drugs. In this paper, we briefly introduce recent research trends and issues of EMT, focusing on the relationship of EMT with the entire cycle of inflammation (from initiation to resolution of inflammation). Recent findings on the relationship between EMT and immune evasion are discussed. We will also explore the importance of controlling inflammation by anti-inflammatory compounds and specialized pro-resolving lipids to inhibit EMT process in cancer.

Inflammatory Response
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...
Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair
The typical wound exudate is odorless, transparent, straw-colored, thin, and watery. Exudate, however, can differ depending on the state of wound healing. Likewise, the...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
