Wnt Signaling in Embryonic Development

The latest research in Wnt signaling

Presents reviews from leading experts in the field of Wnt signaling. Part of the "Advances in Developmental Biology" series, this book covers different levels of signaling, including: ligands, receptors, cytoplasmic and nuclear components of the pathway. It also discusses regulators of the cytoskeleton.A superb compilation of reviews from leading experts in the field of Wnt signaling (signaling molecules that regulate cell-to-cell interactions during embryogenesis), volume 17 in the Advances in Developmental Biology series offers 7 chapters, each devoted to a separate area of research on Wnt signaling. Written by specialists in the field, these chapters cover different levels of signaling, including: ligands, receptors, cytoplasmic and nuclear components of the pathway. This book discusses a number of model systems including mice, Drosophila, Xenopus, zebrafish, C. elegans, and mammalian cells. Together, these chapters review the available knowledge and will fill gaps in our understanding of this interesting network of cell signaling processes.
