Progress of Wnt Signaling Pathway in Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis, one of the serious health diseases, involves bone mass loss, bone density diminishing, and degeneration of bone microstructure, which is accompanied by a tendency toward bone fragility and a predisposition to fracture. More than 200 million

Wnt Signaling Translocates Lys48-Linked Polyubiquitinated Proteins to the Lysosomal Pathway
Cellular proteins are degraded in either proteasomes or lysosomes depending on the types of ubiquitin chains that covalently modify them. It is not known whether the choice between these two pathways is physiologically regulated.

IGFBP-3 inhibits Wnt signaling in metastatic melanoma cells. [PDF]
In previous works, we have shown that insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), a tissue and circulating protein able to bind to IGFs, decreases drastically in the blood serum of patients with diffuse metastatic melanoma.

Wnt Signaling in Neural Crest Ontogenesis and Oncogenesis. [PDF]
Neural crest (NC) cells are a temporary population of multipotent stem cells that generate a diverse array of cell types, including craniofacial bone and cartilage, smooth muscle cells, melanocytes, and peripheral neurons and glia during embryonic ...

Wnt/beta-catenin/Tcf signaling: A critical pathway in gastrointestinal tumorigenesis [PDF]
Cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver, bile ducts, and pancreas, constitute the largest group of malignant tumors. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common neoplastic diseases in Western countries and one of the leading causes of ...

Wnt signaling during tooth replacement in zebrafish (Danio rerio) : pitfalls and perspectives [PDF]
The canonical (13-catenin dependent) Wnt signaling pathway has emerged as a likely candidate for regulating tooth replacement in continuously renewing dentitions.

Background Secreted Frizzled related proteins (SFRPs) are extracellular regulators of Wnt signaling. These proteins contain an N-terminal cysteine rich domain (CRD) highly similar to the CRDs of the Frizzled family of seven-transmembrane proteins that ...

Functional role of the Frizzled linker domain in the Wnt signaling pathway
The linker domain of Frizzled receptors has a varying effect on the functional levels of canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling, with FZD chimeras influencing the binding of Wnt proteins and the recruitment of proteins regulating downstream signaling.

A Daple-Akt feed-forward loop enhances noncanonical Wnt signals by compartmentalizing β-catenin. [PDF]
Cellular proliferation is antagonistically regulated by canonical and noncanonical Wnt signals; their dysbalance triggers cancers. We previously showed that a multimodular signal transducer, Daple, enhances PI3-K→Akt signals within the noncanonical Wnt ...
