EMT Reporter Models for Cancer Research: A Window into Invasion and Metastasis

This webinar examines a groundbreaking tool for scientists studying epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its reverse. We used CRISPR technology to engineer EMT and MET reporter cell lines to monitor this transition. The data discussed here confirmed that the gene-edited cell lines’ fluorescent signal brightened or dimmed appropriately when undergoing EMT or MET.
