Wnt Signalling Pathways

The Wnt signaling pathways are a group of signal transduction pathways made of proteins that pass signals from outside of a cell through cell surface receptors to the inside of the cell. A special issue of Developmental Neurobiology titled "Wnt Signaling Mechanisms in Development and Disease" is open access.
It includes five review articles and two original papers that capture these new exciting aspects of Wnts and the Wnt signaling pathways in the nervous system development and disease. Changes of Wnt signaling components have been observed in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Further understanding of the targets regulated by Wnts will inspire strategies for the treatment and perhaps cure of developmental and neurodegenerative conditions where Wnts play a central role.
