The canonical Wnt signaling pathway. The left panel (A) demonstrates the activated Wnt signaling cascade, while the right side portrays the inhibited Wnt signaling cascade. Wnt binds to the Fz ...

The pathway, Wnt signaling, is known to play a critical role in cell survival, embryonic development and synaptic activity -- the electrical and chemical signals necessary for learning and memory.

Blue light is illuminating new understanding of a key signaling pathway in embryo development, tissue maintenance and cancer genesis. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...

Wnt signalling is an important, evolutionarily conserved signalling pathway that determines cell fate decisions and tissue patterning during embryonic development and later development. The ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, developed an approach using blue light to activate the Wnt signaling pathway in frog embryos. The pathway plays a wide variety of roles ...

The researchers started their quest by looking at WNT signaling, a communication pathway used by cells to promote tissue regeneration and wound healing. WNT signaling helps maintain the blood ...
