Résumé

TEMTIA X, the tenth symposium organized by the EMT international Association (TEMTIA) took place in Paris on November 7th-10th, 2022. Similarly to the previous meetings, it reviewed most recent aspects of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, a cellular process involved during distinct stages of development, but also during wound healing and fibrosis to some level. EMT steps are likewise typically described with various extents during tumor cell progression and metastasis. The meeting emphasized the intermediate stages involved in the process and their potential physiological or pathological importance, taking advantage of the expansion of molecular methods at single cell level. It also introduced new descriptions of EMT occurrences during early embryogenesis. In addition, sessions explored how EMT reflects cell metabolism and how the process can mingle with immune response, particularly during tumor progression, providing new targets, that were discussed, among others, for cancer therapy. Finally, it introduced a new perception of EMT biological meaning based on an evolutionary perspective. The meeting integrated the TEMTIA general assembly , allowing general discussion about the future of the association, starting with the site of the next meeting, now decided to take place in Seattle (US), late 2024.
