Iterative cycles of epithelial‒mesenchymal transition (EMT) and mesenchymal-to-epithelial
transition (MET) are responsible for epithelial plasticity necessary to achieve functional
wound closure. Restoration of the barrier function of the repaired skin is a hallmark of
functional wound closure. Both EMT and MET are subject to control by glycemic status. A
new article by Tan et al (2020) supports the notion that hyperglycemia blunts epithelial
plasticity.
