Abstract excerpt
Wnts function through the activation of at least three intracellular signal transduction pathways, of which the canonical beta-catenin mediated pathway is the best understood. Aberrant canonical Wnt signaling has been involved in both neurodegeneration and cancer. An impairment of Wnt signals appears to be associated with aspects of neurodegenerative pathologies while overactivation of Wnt signaling is a common...
