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 the Wnt signaling molecules in the tooth
Japanese Dental Science Review, 2016 Wnt signaling plays a central role in many processes during embryonic development and adult homeostasis. At least 19 types of Wnt ligands, receptors, transducers, transcription factors, and antagonists have been identified in mammals.

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.

WNT Signaling in Melanoma [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 WNT-signaling controls important cellular processes throughout embryonic development and adult life, so any deregulation of this signaling can result in a wide range of pathologies, including cancer. WNT-signaling is classified into two categories: β-catenin-dependent signaling (canonical pathway) and β-catenin-independent signaling (non-canonical ...

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.

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.

The Wnt signalling pathway [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2002 Recent advances in the field require an update of our Wnt pathway scheme ( [Hulsken and Behrens, 2000][1]). Intracellular signaling of the Wnt pathway diversifies into at least three branches: (1) the β-catenin pathway (canonical Wnt pathway, blue), which activates target genes in the nucleus ...
