Maternal Wnt/β-catenin signaling coactivates transcription through NF-κB binding sites during Xenopus axis formation. [PDF]
Maternal Wnt/β-Catenin signaling establishes a program of dorsal-specific gene expression required for axial patterning in Xenopus. We previously reported that a subset of dorsally expressed genes depends not only on Wnt/β-Catenin stimulation, but also ...

Silencing mutated β-catenin inhibits cell proliferation and stimulates apoptosis in the adrenocortical cancer cell line H295R [PDF]
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and highly aggressive endocrine neoplasm, with limited therapeutic options. Activating β-catenin somatic mutations are found in ACC and have been associated with a poor clinical outcome. In fact, activation of the

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract are the single most common cause of renal failure in childhood. Advances in the care of children with renal failure has primarily focused on optimizing the supportive, although nonspecific, treatment of chronic kidney disease and in addressing ...

Casein kinase 1δ/ϵ (CK1δ/ϵ) are well-established positive modulators of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of β-catenin transcriptional activity by CK1δ/ϵ remain unclear.

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

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

Dissecting the impact of Frizzled receptors in Wnt/beta-catenin signaling of human mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]
Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is of fundamental importance in the regulation of self-renewal, migration/invasion, and differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs).

Persistent Wnt/β-catenin signaling determines dorsalization of the postnatal subventricular zone and neural Stem cell specification into oligodendrocytes and glutamatergic neurons [PDF]
In the postnatal and adult central nervous system (CNS), the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the forebrain is the main source of neural stem cells (NSCs) that generate olfactory neurons and oligodendrocytes (OLs), the myelinating cells of the CNS.

Wnt/ β -catenin signaling plays a significant role during kidney development and maturation.[1][1][][2]–[3][3] β -Catenin, the canonical Wnt signal transducer, is involved in nephron induction[4][4],[5][5] and branching morphogenesis.[1][1],[6][6] Importantly, β -catenin modulation is ...
