IM-12 is a cell-permeable indolylmaleimide that acts as a Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) inhibitor, activating downstream components of canonical Wnt signaling. IM-12 significantly increased β-catenin levels. When used to treat human neural progenitor cells, IM-12 promoted neuronal differentiation resulting in an increase of neuronal cells. It has an IC50 of 53 nM in an in vitro binding assay, compared with 92 nM for SB-216763 in the same assay condition.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumor located in the liver. Secreted frizzled‑related protein 4 (sFRP‑4) is associated with cancer occurrence, but the relationship between sFRP‑4 and HCC is not completely understood. The present study aimed to investigate the role and

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the most potent androgen that regulates hair cycling. Hair cycling involves cross-talk between the androgen and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. However, how DHT regulates hair follicle (HF) growth through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway has not been well investigated. This study
Polycomb repressive complex 2 and the epigenetic mark that it deposits, H3K27me3, are evolutionarily conserved and play critical roles in development and cancer. However, their roles in cell fate decisions in early embryonic development remain poorly understood. Here we report
Understanding transcription factor (TF) regulation of limbal epithelial stem/progenitor cells (LEPCs) may aid in using non-ocular cells to regenerate the corneal surface. This study aimed to identify and characterize TF genes expressed specifically in LEPCs isolated from human donor eyes
The foundations of mammalian development lie in a cluster of embryonic epiblast stem cells. In response to extracellular matrix signalling, these cells undergo epithelialization and create an apical surface in contact with a cavity, a fundamental event for all subsequent
Naive pluripotent stem cells cultured in vitro using specialized media and inhibitors mimic "ground-state" cells from blastocysts.
