    Quantifying β-catenin subcellular dynamics and cyclin D1 mRNA transcription during Wnt signaling in single living cells

    Pinhas Kafri, Sarah E Hasenson ... Yaron Shav-Tal
    Imaging of single cells within a cell population shows the correlation between subcellular accumulation of β-catenin and the transcriptional activation of a target gene.

    Wnt/β-catenin signaling is an evolutionarily conserved determinant of chordate dorsal organizer

    Iryna Kozmikova, Zbynek Kozmik
    Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is essential for the specification of dorsal cell fate in amphioxus, suggesting a common evolutionary origin for the formation of the dorsal organizer in chordates.

    Kap-β2/Transportin mediates β-catenin nuclear transport in Wnt signaling

    Woong Y Hwang, Valentyna Kostiuk ... Mustafa K Khokha
    β-catenin, a key effector of the Wnt signaling pathway, is transported into the nucleus via a direct interaction between its PY-NLS and TNPO1 offering new potential targets for cancer therapeutics.

    An oxygen-insensitive Hif-3α isoform inhibits Wnt signaling by destabilizing the nuclear β-catenin complex

    Peng Zhang, Yan Bai ... Cunming Duan
    Hif/Hif-3α has two distinct roles in cells: activating HRE-dependent gene expression and binding to β-catenin to destabilize the nuclear β-catenin complex.

    Increasing β-catenin/Wnt3A activity levels drive mechanical strain-induced cell cycle progression through mitosis

    Blair W Benham-Pyle, Joo Yong Sim ... William James Nelson
    Mechanicals forces and local (Wnt) signaling can synergize to increase β-catenin signaling and produce unique growth phenotypes.

    Cbfβ regulates Wnt/β-catenin, Hippo/Yap, and Tgfβ signaling pathways in articular cartilage homeostasis and protects from ACLT surgery-induced osteoarthritis

    Wei Chen, Yun Lu ... Yi-Ping Li
    Low expression of Cbfb may be the cause of osteoarthritis, and local admission of Cbfb may rescue and protect against osteoarthritis through decreasing Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and increasing Hippo/Yap signaling and Tgfβ/Smad2/3 signaling in osteoarthritis articular cartilage.

    R-spondin signalling is essential for the maintenance and differentiation of mouse nephron progenitors

    Valerie PI Vidal, Fariba Jian-Motamedi ... Andreas Schedl
    In the developing kidney, secreted molecules of the R-spondin family control progenitor cell proliferation and nephron formation by permitting WNT/β-catenin signalling.

    Dkk2 promotes neural crest specification by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling in a GSK3β independent manner

    Arun Devotta, Chang-Soo Hong, Jean-Pierre Saint-Jeannet
    Dkk2, a member of the Dikkopf family of Wnt antagonists, acts as a positive regulator of Wnt signaling during neural crest formation.

    Allele-specific endogenous tagging and quantitative analysis of β-catenin in colorectal cancer cells

    Giulia Ambrosi, Oksana Voloshanenko ... Michael Boutros
    Bi-allelic tagging enables the biophysical analysis of oncogenic β-catenin genetic variants in Wnt signaling.

    Tip cell-specific requirement for an atypical Gpr124- and Reck-dependent Wnt/β-catenin pathway during brain angiogenesis

    Benoit Vanhollebeke, Oliver A Stone ... Didier YR Stainier
    The membrane proteins Reck and Gpr124 are integral components of a novel Wnt7a/Wnt7b-specific signaling complex, and there is a distinctive requirement for Wnt/β-catenin signaling in tip cells during angiogenesis in the central nervous system.
