Aberrantly active Wnt signaling is the hallmark driver of colorectal cancer (CRC). Bcl9/9l proteins are components of the main transcriptional activation complex of canonical Wnt signaling and interact with beta-catenin via a highly conserved homology doma ...
The development and maintenance of the skin are dependent on myriad signaling pathways that regulate a variety of cellular processes. In cutaneous epithelial cells, the Notch cascade plays a central role in ensuring that proliferation and differentiation a ...

Abstract The Wnt/β-catenin signalling and autophagy pathways each play important roles during development, adult tissue homeostasis and tumorigenesis. Here we identify the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway as a negative regulator of both basal and stress-in ...
Variations in the spatial localization of signaling components and crosstalk among signaling cascades are mechanisms through which diversity in signaling networks is generated. The receptor Notch provides an example of regulation by spatial localization: I ...
How signaling gradients supply positional information in a field of moving cells is an unsolved question in patterning and morphogenesis. Here, we ask how a Wnt signaling gradient regulates the dynamics of a wavefront of cellular change in a flow of cells ...
KRAS is one of the most commonly mutated oncogenes in human tumors, and is typically associated with aggressive disease. Despite intensive study and years of effort, KRAS has remained refractory to targeted inhibition. Given the challenge of inhibiting KRA ...
The ovarian hormones estrogen and progesterone orchestrate postnatal mammary gland development and are implicated in breast cancer. Most of our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) signaling ste ...
Estrogens and progesterones are major drivers of breast development but also promote carcinogenesis in this organ. Yet, their respective roles and the mechanisms underlying their action in the human breast are unclear. Receptor activator of nuclear factor ...

There is still a need for catchment hydrological and transport models that properly integrate the effects of preferential flows while accounting for differences in velocities and celerities. A modeling methodology is presented here which uses particle trac ...
Cancer cells are embedded in a microenvironment composed of stromal cells, such as fibroblasts, endothelial cells, infiltrating immune cells, as well as non-cellular compartments such as the extracellular matrix and secreted soluble factors. For successful ...
