Gone with the Wnts: β-Catenin, T-Cell Factor, Forkhead Box O, and Oxidative Stress in Age-Dependent Diseases of Bone, Lipid, and Glucose Metabolism
11 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
The Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway affects several biological processes ranging from embryonic development, patterning, and postembryonic stem cell fate, to bone formation and insulin secretion in adulthood. beta-Catenin mediates canonical Wnt signaling by binding to and activating members of the T-cell factor (TCF) transcription factor family. Similar to the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway, oxidative stress...
