Abstract excerpt
The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and Wnt/wingless pathways play critical roles in the specification of cell fate during development and also contribute to cancer formation and progression. Whereas Wnt signaling is clearly pro-oncogenic, TGF-beta signaling is cell- and context-dependent, manifesting both inhibitory and proliferative effects. The growth factor, gastrin, has previously been shown to be...
