Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), including developmental (Type I), wound healing (Type II), and pathological (Type III) subtypes, constitutes a critical driver of cancer metastasis. This review analyzes the redox interplay between nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in EMT regulation and cancer progression. Nrf2 maintains redox homeostasis through antioxidant gene activa...
