Wnt signaling in colorectal cancer: pathogenic role and therapeutic target
Molecular Cancer, 2022 Background The Wnt signaling pathway is a complex network of protein interactions that functions most commonly in embryonic development and cancer, but is also involved in normal physiological processes in adults.

Wnt/β-catenin signaling components and mechanisms in bone formation, homeostasis, and disease
Bone ResearchWnts are secreted, lipid-modified proteins that bind to different receptors on the cell surface to activate canonical or non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways, which control various biological processes throughout embryonic development and adult life ...

WNT signaling in cancer: molecular mechanisms and potential therapies [PDF]
Molecular BiomedicineThe WNT signaling pathway, a fundamental molecular network regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and stemness, plays a critical role in tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and therapeutic resistance. Given its crucial regulatory roles in tumors,

Role of Wnt Signaling in Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Health and Disease
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Neurogenesis persists during adulthood in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Signals provided by the local hippocampal microenvironment support neural stem cell proliferation, differentiation, and maturation of newborn neurons into functional dentate ...

Wnt signaling in liver regeneration, disease, and cancer [PDF]
Clinical and Molecular Hepatology, 2023 The liver exhibits the highest recovery rate from acute injuries. However, in chronic liver disease, the long-term loss of hepatocytes often leads to adverse consequences such as fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.

A New Wave of Targeting ‘Undruggable’ Wnt Signaling for Cancer Therapy: Challenges and Opportunities
Cells, 2023 Aberrant Wnt signaling activation is frequently observed in many cancers. The mutation acquisition of Wnt signaling leads to tumorigenesis, whereas the inhibition of Wnt signaling robustly suppresses tumor development in various in vivo models.
