Differentiation Therapy Targeting the β-Catenin/CBP Interaction in Pancreatic Cancer. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Although canonical Wnt signaling is known to promote tumorigenesis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a cancer driven principally by mutant K-Ras, the detailed molecular mechanisms by which the Wnt effector β-catenin regulates such ...

Distinct Activities of the α-Catenin Family, α-Catulin and α-Catenin, on β-Catenin-Mediated Signaling [PDF]
α-Catenin, an integral part of cadherin-catenin adhesion complexes, is a major binding partner of β-catenin, a key component of the Wnt pathway, which activates T-cell factor (TCF)/lymphoid enhancer factor (LEF) transcription and is often upregulated in cancers.

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.

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

Transcriptional Regulation of Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway in Colorectal Cancer
The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway exerts integral roles in embryogenesis and adult homeostasis. Aberrant activation of the pathway is implicated in growth-associated diseases and cancers, especially as a key driver in the initiation and progression of ...

Endothelial Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibits glioma angiogenesis and normalizes tumor blood vessels by inducing PDGF-B expression [PDF]
Endothelial Wnt/β-catenin signaling is necessary for angiogenesis of the central nervous system and blood–brain barrier (BBB) differentiation, but its relevance for glioma vascularization is unknown. In this study, we show that doxycycline-dependent Wnt1

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
