Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The tumour-suppressive effects of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) are well documented; however, the mechanistic basis of these effects is not fully understood. Previously, we showed that a non-canonical member of the Wingless-related protein family, Wnt5a, is required for TGF-beta-mediated effects on mammary development. Several lines of evidence support the hypothesis that Wnt5a acts as...
