商品簡介
Signaling by the Wnt family of secreted proteins is recognized as one of the most fundamental and conserved regulatory systems in animals, controlling many critical aspects of development and adult tissue homeostasis. Twenty-three chapters cover signaling mechanisms, development, stem cell biology and differentiation, and disease and intervention. Among the topics are secreted and transmembrane Wnt inhibitors and activators, Wnt signaling in vertebrate axis specification, Wnt pathway regulation of embryonic stem cell self-removal, Wnt signaling and forebrain development, and Wnt signaling and injury repaid.
