Members of the Wnt family have been implicated in a variety of developmental processes including axis formation, patterning of the central nervous system and tissue morphogenesis. Recent studies have shown that a Wnt ...

Dynamic regulation of cell adhesion receptors is required for proper cell migration in embryogenesis, tissue repair, and cancer. Integrins and Syndecan4 (SDC4) are the main cell adhesion receptors involved in focal adhesion ...

The Wnt signaling pathway plays a role in the development of the central nervous system and growing evidence indicates that Wnts also regulates the structure and function of the adult nervous system. Wnt components are key ...

The specific role of WNT signaling during preimplantation development remains unclear. Here, we evaluated consequences of activation and inhibition of ß-catenin (CTNNB1)-dependent and -independent WNT signaling in the ...

Organ formation requires the precise assembly of progenitor cells into a functional multicellular structure. Mechanical forces probably participate in this process but how they influence organ morphogenesis is still unclear. ...

Background: WNT signaling pathways are significantly altered during cancer development. Vertebrates possess two classes of WNT signaling pathways: the " canonical" WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway, and the " non-canonical" ...

Neurulation is an essential process during early embryogenesis that results in theformation of the neural tube, the precursor of the brain and spinal cord. Neurulation includes neural fold elevation and bending, and adhesion ...

Background: WNT signaling pathways are significantly altered during cancer development. Vertebrates possess two classes of WNT signaling pathways: the " canonical" WNT/?-catenin signaling pathway, and the " non-canonical" ...

The UV photodegradation of phenol in aqueous medium using PdO supported on binary Al2O3-Nd2O3 oxides as photocatalysts was studied. The PdO/Al2O3-Nd2O3 photocatalysts were prepared by the sol-gel method and characterized ...
