WNT signalling in prostate cancer [PDF]
Genome sequencing and gene expression analyses of prostate tumours have highlighted the potential importance of genetic and epigenetic changes observed in WNT signalling pathway components in prostate tumours-particularly in the development of castration-

The use of Wnt ligands for signaling between cells is a conserved feature of metazoan development. Activation of Wnt signal transduction pathways upon ligand binding can regulate diverse processes including cell proliferation, migration, polarity, differentiation and axon outgrowth.

Wnt5A Signaling Blocks Progression of Experimental Visceral Leishmaniasis
Visceral leishmaniasis, caused by L. donovani infection is fatal if left untreated. The intrinsic complexity of visceral leishmaniasis complicated further by the increasing emergence of drug resistant L.

Upregulated wnt-11 and mir-21 expression trigger epithelial mesenchymal transition in aggressive prostate cancer cells [PDF]
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second-leading cause of cancer-related death among men. microRNAs have been identified as having potential roles in tumorigenesis.

Acute WNT signalling activation perturbs differentiation within the adult stomach and rapidly leads to tumour formation [PDF]
A role for WNT signalling in gastric carcinogenesis has been suggested due to two major observations. First, patients with germline mutations in adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) are susceptible to stomach polyps and second, in gastric cancer, WNT ...

Activation of the Wnt Pathway by Mycobacterium tuberculosis: A Wnt–Wnt Situation [PDF]
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), an intracellular pathogenic Gram-positive bacterium, is the cause of Tuberculosis, a major worldwide human infectious disease. The innate immune system is the first host defense against M. tuberculosis. The recognition of this pathogen is mediated by several classes of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs ...

AbstractA recent Juan March Foundation workshop on “wnt genes and Wnt signaling” brought developmental and cancer biologists together to share some of the latest advances in Wnt research. Discussion topics included molecular, genetic, and genomic dissections of wnt genes in embryogenesis and cancer, Wnt signaling components and downstream targets ...

Disinhibition of the HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase WWP2 by polymerized Dishevelled [PDF]
Dishevelled is a pivot in Wnt signal transduction, controlling both β-catenin-dependent transcription to specify proliferative cell fates, and cell polarity and other non-nuclear events in post-mitotic cells.

Increasing β-catenin/Wnt3A activity levels drive mechanical strain-induced cell cycle progression through mitosis. [PDF]
Mechanical force and Wnt signaling activate β-catenin-mediated transcription to promote proliferation and tissue expansion. However, it is unknown whether mechanical force and Wnt signaling act independently or synergize to activate β-catenin signaling ...

Endogenous Wnt signalling in human embryonic stem cells generates an equilibrium of distinct lineage-specified progenitors. [PDF]
The pluripotent nature of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) makes them convenient for deriving therapeutically relevant cells. Here we show using Wnt reporter hESC lines that the cells are heterogeneous with respect to endogenous Wnt signalling activity.
