DKK2 is crucial for the development of lysozyme-expressing cancer cells with Paneth cell characteristics necessary for liver metastasized colon cancer growth.
FABP4 plays a central role in driving the formation lipid-laden macrophages induced by unsaturated fats and enhances macrophage-tumor interactions, thereby promoting breast cancer migration and metastasis.
Antibody-mediated neutralisation of Gremlin-1 was ineffective in treating fibrosis in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitits, likely due to low hepatic expression in a subset of myofibroblasts and redundant Gremlin-1 signalling.
An enhancer-dependent transcriptional machinery finely tunes the expression of Ctnnb1 in intestinal crypts, thereby balancing homeostasis and tumorigenesis of intestinal epithelia.
