Wnt canonical pathway activates macropinocytosis and lysosomal degradation of extracellular proteins
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance There is a critical need for new drugs targeting Wnt-driven diseases. For example, 80% of colorectal cancers are initiated by Wnt-activating APC mutations which then require multiple additional mutations to progress into invasive cancer ...
