C/EBPɑ is crucial determinant of epithelial maintenance by preventing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition

In breast cancer TGF-β regulates C/EBPα and can induce epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Here, the authors show that C/EBPα maintains epithelial homeostasis and prevents EMT-mediated tumorigenesis.
