On the role of mechanics in driving mesenchymal-to-epithelial transitions

[Display omitted] •Mechanical cues initiate, propagate, and stabilize polarization in MET.•Spectrum of METs range from all-at-once epithelialization to single cell METs.•Early development, organogenesis, cancer progression share basic MET framework.•Comparative analysis of MET and their relation to...
