The Wnt family of consists of ligands involved in cell development, fate determination, organogenesis, and oncogenesis. Information on Wnt signaling has been inferred from genetic analysis of wingless (wg) signaling in Drosophila. The Wnt signaling cascade initiates at the cell membrane when Wnt interacts with its receptor, a member of the Frizzled (Fz) transmembrane receptor family and lipoprotein receptor–related proteins 5 and 6 (LRP-5/6). This interaction relays the signal into the interior of the cell where disheveled (dsh) is brought to the membrane and gets phosphorylated/activated. Dsh promotes the inactivation of GSK3 kinase activity, thus preventing the phosphorylation of β-Catenin and allowing it to accumulate as it avoids ubiquination and subsequent proteosome degradation. Stable β-Catenin accumulates in the cytoplasm where it interacts with lymphoid enhancer factor/T cell factor (LEF/TCF) and translocates into the nucleus. This results in activation of TCF-responsive genes which are thought to play key roles in development and cancer. Negative regulators of the pathway may include axin and the tumor suppressor APC.

Long-term survival of an animal species depends on development being robust to environmental variations and climate changes. We used C. elegans to study how mechanisms that sense environmental changes trigger adaptive responses that ensure animals develop properly. In water, the
Electroacupuncture at Dazhui (GV14) and Mingmen (GV4) on the Governor Vessel has been shown to exhibit curative effects on spinal cord injury; however, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, we established rat models of spinal cord injury
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common hair loss disorder resulting in seriously abnormal social interaction and psychological disorders. Transplantation with autologous dermal papilla cells represents a prospective therapy. However, the ability of dermal papilla cells to induce hair follicle development
A low-protein diet supplemented with ketoacids plays a more protective role against oxidative stress of rat kidney tissue with 5/6 nephrectomy than a low-protein diet alone.
