Arvcf Dependent Adherens Junction Stability is Required to Prevent Age-Related Cortical Cataracts

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
The etiology of age-related cortical cataracts is not well understood but is speculated to be related to alterations in cell adhesion and/or the changing mechanical stresses occurring in the lens with time.

p120-catenin subfamily members have distinct as well as shared effects on dendrite morphology during neuron development in vitro

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
Dendritic arborization is essential for proper neuronal connectivity and function. Conversely, abnormal dendrite morphology is associated with several neurological pathologies like Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia.

Delta-Catenin as a Modulator of Rho GTPases in Neurons

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022
Small Rho GTPases are molecular switches that are involved in multiple processes including regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. These GTPases are activated (turned on) and inactivated (turned off) through various upstream effector molecules to carry out

ECCU (E-cadherin/catenin) complex and its role in carcinogenesis

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2020
Introduction:One of the main characteristics of cancer is uncontrolled cell proliferation as well as loss of cells adhesion in the case of metastases. Cadherins and catenins are the molecules responsible for cell-to-cell interaction.

Ectopic γ-catenin expression partially mimics the effects of stabilized β-catenin on embryonic stem cell differentiation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
β-catenin, an adherens junction component and key Wnt pathway effector, regulates numerous developmental processes and supports embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency in specific contexts.

Receptor and secreted targets of Wnt-1/β-catenin signalling in mouse mammary epithelial cells

BMC Cancer, 2005
Background Deregulation of the Wnt/ β-catenin signal transduction pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of tumours in the mammary gland, colon and other tissues.

β-Catenin expression is associated with cell invasiveness in pancreatic cancer [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2019
Background/Aims This study was tried to determine the role of β-catenin in invasion in pancreatic cancer. Methods We analyzed cancer invasiveness according to β-catenin expression in pancreatic cancer cell line.

Large Ovarian Microcystic Stromal Tumour: A Report of Rare and Distinctive Pathological Entity [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Microcystic Stromal Tumours (MCSTs) of the ovary are an exceedingly rare and distinct subtype of ovarian stromal neoplasms, characterised by their unique histopathological features. They were first identified in 2019 as a distinct entity.

Discovery of novel small molecule activators of β-catenin signaling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays a major role in embryonic development and adult stem cell maintenance. Reduced activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway underlies neurodegenerative disorders and aberrations in bone formation.

Increased Expression of Adherens Junction Components in Mouse Liver following Bile Duct Ligation

Biomolecules, 2019
Adherens junctions, consisting of cadherins and catenins, are a group of cell-to-cell junctions that mediate mechanistic linkage between neighboring cells. By doing so, adherens junctions ensure direct intercellular contact and play an indispensable role
