Cells that undergo an epithelial-mesenchymal transition therefore actively participate in the remodeling of the tissue they are about to leave.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p-rich_text_section\">\n<div class=\"p-rich_text_section\">The jury considered that this work makes an important contribution to the general field of cell mechanics during morphogenesis.
