Differentiation of the brain vasculature : the answer came blowing by the Wnt [PDF]
Vascularization of the vertebrate brain takes place during embryonic development from a preformed perineural vascular plexus. As a consequence of the intimate contact with neuroectodermal cells the vessels, which are entering the brain exclusively via ...

Wnt Signaling Regulates Multipolar-to-Bipolar Transition of Migrating Neurons in the Cerebral Cortex
The precise timing of pyramidal cell migration from the ventricular germinal zone to the cortical plate is essential for establishing cortical layers, and migration errors can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders underlying psychiatric and neurological ...

Conformational change of Dishevelled plays a key regulatory role in the Wnt signaling pathways
The intracellular signaling molecule Dishevelled (Dvl) mediates canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling via its PDZ domain. Different pathways diverge at this point by a mechanism that remains unclear.

The canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway: From the history of its discovery to clinical application [PDF]
The Wnt/β signaling pathway (Wnt-SP) is a phylogenetically ancient mechanism that regulates development and maintains tissue homeostasis through the control of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis.

Dissecting the roles of WNT signaling in breast cancer using "in vitro" and "in vivo" experimental models [PDF]
Canonical WNT pathway regulates expression of target genes by modulating intracellular amount of β-catenin. Without WNT pathway activation, a so-called “destruction complex” including APC and Axin facilitates the degradation of β-catenin. Upon binding of

Multiple Targets of the Canonical WNT/β-Catenin Signaling in Cancers
Canonical WNT/β-catenin signaling is involved in most of the mechanisms that lead to the formation and development of cancer cells. It plays a central role in three cyclic processes, which are the cell division cycle, the immune cycle, and circadian ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...
