Abstract excerpt
Wnt ligands play a central role in the development and homeostasis of various organs through β-catenin-dependent and -independent signalling. The crucial roles of Wnt/β-catenin signals in bone mass have been established by a large number of studies since the discovery of a causal link between mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (Lrp5) gene and alternations in human bone mass.
