Abstract excerpt
In most cases, advanced stages of melanoma are practically incurable due to high metastatic potential of tumor cells. Multiple observations support the idea that aberrations in Wnt signaling pathway play a significant role in melanoma development and progression. Canonical Wnt signaling activation results in stabilization and accumulation of the major effector molecule called beta-catenin. Mutations promoting...
