WNT2B Deficiency Causes Increased Susceptibility to Colitis in Mice and Impairs Intestinal Epithelial Development in Humans
2023-04-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background and aims</h4> WNT2B is a canonical Wnt ligand previously thought to be fully redundant with other Wnts in the intestinal epithelium. However, humans with WNT2B deficiency have severe intestinal disease, highlighting a critical role for WNT2B. We sought to understand how WNT2B contributes to intestinal homeostasis. <h4>Methods</h4> We investigated the intestinal health of Wnt2b knock out (KO) mice...
