Genetic dissection of differential signaling threshold requirements for the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in vivo [PDF]
Contributions of null and hypomorphic alleles of Apc in mice produce both developmental and pathophysiological phenotypes. To ascribe the resulting genotype-to-phenotype relationship unambiguously to the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway, we challenged the allele

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 ...

Identification of a Novel Inhibitor of the Canonical Wnt Pathway [PDF]
Wnt signaling is known to regulate multiple processes including angiogenesis, inflammation, and fibrosis. Here, we identified a novel inhibitor of the Wnt pathway, pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a multifunctional serine proteinase inhibitor.

Activation of the Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway Induces Cementum Regeneration [PDF]
Canonical Wnt signaling is important in tooth development but it is unclear whether it can induce cementogenesis and promote the regeneration of periodontal tissues lost because of disease. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the influence

Proteolytic processing of LRP6 and its effects on canonical Wnt signaling [PDF]
Wei, ShuoLRP6 acts as a co-receptor in the canonical Wnt pathway, a key signaling network involved in regulating embryonic development, tissue patterning, cell migration, and homeostasis. Aberrations in the canonical Wnt pathway are often correlated with

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.

A novel bidirectional positive feedback loop between Wnt/ -catenin and EGFR/ERK: role of context-specific signalling crosstalk in modulating epithelial tissue regeneration [PDF]
By operating as both a subunit of the cadherin complex and a key component of Wnt signalling, β-catenin constitutes the lynchpin between cell:cell contact and transcriptional regulation of proliferation to co-ordinate epithelial tissue homeostasis and ...

The Role of Canonical Wnt Signaling in Regulating Radioresistance [PDF]
Radioresistance is a major obstacle in radiotherapy for cancer, and strategies are needed to overcome this problem. Currently, radiotherapy combined with targeted therapy such as inhibitors of phosphoinosotide 3-kinase/Akt and epidermal growth factor receptor signaling have become the focus of studies on radiosensitization.
