Figure 3. Plots of -catenin, E-cadherin--catenin complex, and proteasome--catenin concentrations for a simulation in which cells undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and subsequently recover by mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET).

The cells reattach to adjacent cells and thereby reform an epithelial layer. The cycle of detachment and reattachment occurs about times until MCS.
