Rethinking WNT signalling [PDF]
The identification of genetic mutations that can hinder the development of human limbs has led to the discovery of an unanticipated mode of regulation for the WNT signalling pathway during limb development. The identification of genetic mutations that can hinder the development of human limbs has led to the discovery of an unanticipated mode of ...

Morphogenesis and axis specification occur in parallel during optic cup and optic fissure formation, differentially modulated by BMP and Wnt [PDF]
Optic cup morphogenesis is an intricate process. Especially, the formation of the optic fissure is not well understood. Persisting optic fissures, termed coloboma, are frequent causes for congenital blindness.

Differential involvement of Wnt signaling in Bmp regulation of cancellous versus periosteal bone growth [PDF]
Bone morphogenetic proteins (Bmp) are well-known to induce bone formation following chondrogenesis, but the direct role of Bmp signaling in the osteoblast lineage is not completely understood.

Wnt signaling is a highly conserved and context-dependent signal transduction pathway that belongs to the so-called morphogens. Wnt signals are instrumental during development, but also play a central role in tissue homeostasis. For instance, in the intestine Wnt signaling is crucial for both stem cell maintenance and proliferation in the transient ...

Cartilage development and degeneration: a Wnt Wnt situation [PDF]
The Wnt signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the development and homeostasis of a variety of adult tissues and, as such, is emerging as an important therapeutic target for numerous diseases. Factors involved in the Wnt pathway are expressed throughout limb development and chondrogenesis and have been shown to be critical in joint homeostasis and ...

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

Wnt-1 and Wnt-4 regulate thymic cellularity [PDF]
Thymic primordium, formed by cells derived from the endoderm, the ectoderm and the neural crest-derived mesenchyme, receive fetal liver derived lymphoid precursors. Reciprocal cell-cell interactions between thymic stromal cells and lymphoid precursors are critical in the expansion and maturation of thymocytes. Transcription factor TCF-1 is critical for

Canonical WNT pathway inhibition reduces ATP synthesis rates in glioblastoma stem cells
Background: The conserved stem cell signaling network canonical Wingless (WNT) plays important roles in development and disease. Aberrant activation of this pathway has been linked to tumor progression and resistance to therapy.

Wnt signalling: conquering complexity [PDF]
ABSTRACT The history of the Wnt pathway is an adventure that takes us from mice and flies to frogs, zebrafish and beyond, sketching the outlines of a molecular signalling cascade along the way. Here, we specifically highlight the instrumental role that developmental biology has played throughout. We take the reader on a journey, starting
