The canonical Wnt pathway in early mammalian embryogenesis and stem cell maintenance/differentiation

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development
Jianbo Wang, Anthony Wynshaw-Boris

Abstract

The Wnt signaling pathway plays essential roles in embryogenesis of higher eukaryotes from diploblastic, radially symmetrical cnidarians to mice and humans. Whereas studies in model organisms such as Drosophila and Xenopus continue to elucidate how the Wnt pathway is regulated, studies of mouse mutants and cultured mammalian cells start to reveal how the Wnt pathway controls development and differentiation in mammals. Here we review some of the recent progresses in our understanding of the Wnt pathway. We focus on how this pathway, through regulating transcription of its downstream target genes, specifies pattern formation during mammalian embryogenesis and functions in the differentiation and maintenance of stem cells both in vivo and in vitro.

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.
