Abstract excerpt
The Wnt/Frizzled (FZD) signaling cascade is important for cell fate determination during embryonic development as well as maintaining tissue homeostasis in the adult. In addition to these physiologic roles, studies have shown that deregulation of Wnt/FZD signaling occurs during carcinogenesis. As an example, over 90% of the colorectal cancers have mutations in adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) or beta-catenin...
