Cancer is a systemic disease. Understanding a systemic disease needs systemic rules: Tumorigenesis is a process of progressive loss of original cell identity and gain of neural stemness, the general stemness that determines tumorigenicity and pluripotency.
Researchers who believe EMT is helpful for understanding cancer&other things should first clarify
ON WHAT BASIS EMT IS ESTABLISHED AS A CONCEPT OR RULE.

Those who believe that EMT/MET/EndMT can help understand cancer and other stuffs should at least and at first figure out
WHAT THE HELL IS THE MESENCHYMAL STATE or ON WHAT BASIS EMT/MET/EndMT ARE ESTABLISHED AS CONCEPTS OR RULES.

Beautiful mol. mechanisms👏
But evidence shows FIGNL1 is a cancer promoting factor.
As generalized before, most cancer promoting factors are embryonic neural factors, inclu. FIGNL1.

Therapy resistance is one of cancer cell phenotypic traits, which are unified by neural stemness.

Neural is fundamental.

Some told me that TME should be more concentrated in developing cancer therapy because of inefficiency in targeting cancer cell itself.

But how much is cancer cell really understood?

Everything in the animal world is ultimately the result of neural stemness, including cancer and cancer research.🤭😏😇

While I have no chance to publish my research in eye-catching journals and have no chance to present them at any conferences, I made two PPT files to summarize my view on cancer and epithelial-msenchymal transition.

It would be not a surprise if basic rules in cancer are understood.😆😋🧐
1. Most oncoproteins are embryonic neural/neural stemness proteins, including CK2.
2. Inhibition of oncoproteins suppresses tumorigenicity&boost immunogenicity.

Neuroendocrine tumors surprisingly do not originate from neuroendocrine cells,
and there exists muscle cancer with non-muscle origin,
and osteosarcomas with extraskeletal origin.

Hard to understand?

Cancer is confusing:

Neuroendocrine tumors surprisingly do not originate from neuroendocrine cells,
and (some) muscle cancer originate from non-muscle cells.

Cancer (tumorigenic) cells are characteristic of neural stem/embryonic neural cells, are capable of neuronal-like differentiation&making connections with host neural cells.

Simply put, cancer cell can be induced to neuronal (&non-neural) differentiation, thereby suppressing cancer cell tumorigenicity.
