Pharmacology of the WNT signaling system / Gunnar Schulte, Pawel Kozielewicz, editors.

This book reflects the state of the art of our understanding of the WNT signaling system, which comprises a network of signaling pathways initiated by the secreted WNT lipoglycoproteins, which are crucial for embryonal development, stem cell regulation, tissue homeostasis and repair. Dysfunction of...
