Abstract excerpt
Mutations of beta-catenin have been identified in the majority of pediatric hepatic malignancies, including hepatoblastoma (HB) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), suggesting its important contribution in hepatic tumorigenesis in this age group. However, the role of beta-catenin/canonical Wnt signaling pathway in the neoplastic growth of cancer cells has not been directly studied. To address beta-catenin's...
