EMT has been reported to drive the metastatic spread of various cancers and has also been associated with drug resistance to cytotoxics and targeted therapeutics. Recently phenotype switching akin to EMT has been reported in non-epithelial cancers such as metastatic melanoma. This process involves changes in EMT-Transcription Factors (EMT-TFs), suggesting that phenotype-switching may be common to several tumour types. It remains unclear as to whether the presence of both Epilthelial-like and Mesenchymal-like cells are a pre-requisite for phenotype switching within a tumour, how this heterogeneity is regulated, and if alteration of cell phenotype is sufficient to mediate migratory changes, or whether drivers of cell migration result in an associated phenotype switch in cancer cells. Similarly it has yet to be clarified if cells in an altered phenotype can be refractory to drug therapy or whether mediators of drug resistance induce a concurrent phenotypic change. Little is known today about the underlying genetic, epigenetic and transient changes that accompany this phenotypic switch and about the role for the tumor micro-environment in influencing it. Hence this is currently an area of speculation and keen interest in the Oncology field with wide-ranging translational implications. In this Frontiers Research Topic, we discuss our current understanding of these concepts in various cancer types including breast cancer, colorectal cancer and metastatic melanoma. This topic covers how these processes of cellular and phenotypic plasticity are regulated and how they relate to cancer initiation, progression, dormancy, metastases and response to cytotoxics or targeted therapies. 606 $aCancer 610 $acrosstalk 610 $aImmune System 610 $aPhenotype-switching 610 $aplasticity 610 $aExosomes 610 $aEMT 610 $aTherapy-resistance 610 $asignalling 610 $aheterogeneity 610 $aCancer 615 0$aCancer 700 $aPetranel Theresa Ferrao$4auth$01365478 702 $aAndreas Behren$4auth 702 $aErik Thompson$4auth 702 $aRobin Anderson$4auth 801 0$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910137088203321 996 $aCellular and phenotypic plasticity in cancer$93387417 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01822nam 2200409z- 450 001 9910346711803321 005 20210211 010 $a1000075735 035 $a(CKB)4920000000094576 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/46721 035 $a(oapen)doab46721 035 $a(EXLCZ)994920000000094576 100 $a20202102d2018 |y 0 101 0 $ager 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aErnst Toller - Facetten eines schriftstellerischen Werks zwischen den Weltkriegen.

Related motifs become part of a process that is best described as parallelization. The analysis focuses on the genesis and intricate structure of the complexes of motif "theatrum mundi", "doppelga?nger", "masses/leader". Its major goal is to establish new impulses for further research into the literary techniques which are structuring Ernst Toller?s ?uvre. 610 $adoppelganger 610 $aDoppelga?nger 610 $aErnst Toller 610 $aliterary motifs 610 $aMassentheorieErnst Toller 610 $amob psychology 610 $aMotivgeschichte 610 $atheatrum mundi 610 $aWelttheater 700 $aBigeard$b Simone$4auth$01314068 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346711803321 996 $aErnst Toller - Facetten eines schriftstellerischen Werks zwischen den Weltkriegen.
