Dissecting the roles of WNT signaling in breast cancer using "in vitro" and "in vivo" experimental models [PDF]
Canonical WNT pathway regulates expression of target genes by modulating intracellular amount of β-catenin. Without WNT pathway activation, a so-called “destruction complex” including APC and Axin facilitates the degradation of β-catenin. Upon binding of

Wnt signaling in myogenesis [PDF]
The formation of skeletal muscle is a tightly regulated process that is critically modulated by Wnt signaling. Myogenesis is dependent on the precise and dynamic integration of multiple Wnt signals allowing self-renewal and progression of muscle precursors in the myogenic lineage.

Persistent Wnt/β-catenin signaling determines dorsalization of the postnatal subventricular zone and neural Stem cell specification into oligodendrocytes and glutamatergic neurons [PDF]
In the postnatal and adult central nervous system (CNS), the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the forebrain is the main source of neural stem cells (NSCs) that generate olfactory neurons and oligodendrocytes (OLs), the myelinating cells of the CNS.

Inactivation of TGFβ receptors in stem cells drives cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas is a growing problem but the driver genes causing this remain poorly defined. Here, the authors demonstrate that inactivating driver mutations in TGFBR1 and TGFBR2occur in vemurafenib-induced and sporadic cutaneous ...

Running Against the Wnt: How Wnt/β-Catenin Suppresses Adipogenesis
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) give rise to adipocytes, osteocytes, and chondrocytes and reside in various tissues, including bone marrow and adipose tissue.

Impaired Mitochondrial ATP Production Downregulates Wnt Signaling via ER Stress Induction
Summary: Wnt signaling affects fundamental development pathways and, if aberrantly activated, promotes the development of cancers. Wnt signaling is modulated by different factors, but whether the mitochondrial energetic state affects Wnt signaling is ...

A CRISPR knockout screen reveals new regulators of canonical Wnt signaling
The Wnt signaling pathways play fundamental roles during both development and adult homeostasis. Aberrant activation of the canonical Wnt signal transduction pathway is involved in many diseases including cancer, and is especially implicated in the ...

Maternal Wnt/β-catenin signaling coactivates transcription through NF-κB binding sites during Xenopus axis formation. [PDF]
Maternal Wnt/β-Catenin signaling establishes a program of dorsal-specific gene expression required for axial patterning in Xenopus. We previously reported that a subset of dorsally expressed genes depends not only on Wnt/β-Catenin stimulation, but also ...

Summary: WNT signaling promotes the reprogramming of somatic cells to an induced pluripotent state. We provide genetic evidence that WNT signaling is a requisite step during the induction of pluripotency.

Wnt10b-GSK3β–dependent Wnt/STOP signaling prevents aneuploidy in human somatic cells
Autocrine Wnt10b signaling ensures proper mitotic microtubule polymerization and faithful chromosome segregation. Wnt signaling is crucial for proper development, tissue homeostasis and cell cycle regulation.
