We know today that Wnt and a handful of other signalling systems (Notch, Hedgehog, TGFβ (transforming growth factor-β)–BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) and receptor tyrosine kinases ...
When he added the Wnt-coated beads to dishes in which embryonic stem cells were growing, the scientists could then watch individual cells that were close enough to a bead to receive a Wnt3a signal, ...
To find and follow stem cells in a variety of tissues, they have developed mice in which cells that respond to the Wnt signal are labeled with a fluorescent protein. Several years ago, they decided to ...
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity (OB) are associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and increased fracture risk. In vitro studies showed that inflammation induces bone erosion and inhibits bone ...
and the potential for the modulation of the Wnt signaling pathways to treat degenerative diseases and tissue injuries. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in ...
