Switch-like enhancement of epithelial-mesenchymal transition by YAP through feedback regulation of WT1 and Rho-family GTPases

Reorganisation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) controls processes involving epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Here, the authors show that EMT occurring in epithelial cells on a fabricated nano-engineered cell adhesion surface is triggered by mechanical cues from the ECM.
