About this document
Understanding Metaplasia: Types & Risks by Vishal Chandan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Metaplasia is a reversible change of one type of adult cell to another type of adult cell, usually in response to abnormal stimuli, and often reverts back to normal when the stimulus is removed. However, prolonged epithelial metaplasia due to a persistent stimulus can transform into cancer. Metaplasia is divided into epithelial and mesenchymal types.
