Wnt Antagonist II, IWP-2, The Wnt Antagonist II, IWP-2, also referenced under CAS 686770-61-6, controls the biological activity of Wnt. This small molecule/inhibitor is primarily used for Cancer applications.
A cell-permeable benzothiazolyl-acetamide compound that inhibits the cellular Wnt processing and secretion via selective blockage of MBOAT (membrane-bound O-acyltranferase) family member Porcn- (Porcupine) mediated Wnt palmitoylation. IWP-2 does not affect Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in general and, unlike IWR-1-endo (Cat. No. 681669), displays no effect against Wnt-stimulated cellular responses.

Following implantation, the naive pluripotent epiblast of the mouse blastocyst generates a rosette, undergoes lumenogenesis and forms the primed pluripotent egg cylinder, which is able to generate the embryonic tissues. How pluripotency progression and morphogenesis are linked and whether intermediate

Pathogenic variants in the FBN1 gene, which encodes the extracellular matrix protein fibrillin-1, cause Marfan syndrome (MFS), which affects multiple organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. Myocardial dysfunction has been observed in a subset of patients with MFS and in
Generation of cardiomyocytes from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) is of high interest for disease modelling and regenerative medicine. hPSCs can provide an unlimited source of patient-specific cardiomyocytes that are otherwise difficult to obtain from individuals. Moreover, the low proliferation
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is a severe cardiac disorder characterized by lethal arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, with currently no effective treatment. Plakophilin 2 (PKP2) is the most frequently affected gene. Here we show that adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated delivery of PKP2 in
Three-dimensional (3D) cell culturing has several advantages over 2D cultures. 3D cell cultures more accurately mimic the in vivo environment, which is vital to obtain reliable results in disease modelling and toxicity testing. With the introduction of the Yamanaka factors
