Abstract excerpt
The role of beta-catenin in skeletal development and osteogenic cell differentiation is well established, but the molecular mechanisms attending these effects remain largely unknown. We conducted a structure/function analysis of beta-catenin to gain further insights on these mechanisms. Retroviral transduction of a full-length, constitutively active beta-catenin mutant inhibited adipogenesis and stimulated...
