The establishment of prostatic budding patterns occurs early in prostate development but
mechanisms responsible for this event are poorly understood. We investigated the role of …

Post-translational modification, cleavage and processing of circulating hormones are
common themes in the control of hormone activities. Full-length ghrelin is a 28 amino acid …

Purpose: Recent work has indicated that Wnt5a has a critical role in embryonic
development. We investigate whether the Wnt5a-activated noncanonical Wnt pathway is …

A comprehensive model has yet to emerge, but it seems likely that numerous mechanisms
contribute to the specificity of olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) axon innervation of the …

Mesodiencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons originate at the floor plate and floor plate-
basal plate boundary of the midbrain ventricular zone. During development mdDA neurons …

The Wnt signaling pathway is one of the crucial signaling pathways that regulate many
aspects of central nervous system. In this review, we tempt to depict an overall picture of the …

WNT signaling pathways play an important role in both development and disease. By
analyzing the signaling capabilities of commercially available WNT3a preparations towards …

Dopaminergic neurons derived from pluripotent stem cells are among the best investigated
products of in vitro stem cell differentiation owing to their potential use for neurorestorative …

Mast cells are well known for their detrimental effects in allergies and asthma, and Wnt
signaling has recently been implicated in asthma and other airway diseases. However, it is …

Teneurins (Tens) are a highly conserved family of proteins necessary for cell-cell adhesion.
Tens can be cleaved, and some of their proteolytic products, such as the teneurin c-terminal …
