The Canonical Wnt Signaling (Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway): A Potential Target for Cancer Prevention and Therapy
Precise regulation of signal transduction pathways is crucial for normal animal development and for maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis in adults. The Wnt/Frizzled-mediated signaling includes canonical and non-canonical signal transduction pathways. Upregulation or downregulation of the canonical Wnt-signaling (or the Wnt/β-Catenin signal transduction) leads to a variety of human diseas...
متن کاملAn Enhanced Median Filter for Removing Noise from MR Images
In this paper, a novel decision based median (DBM) filter for enhancing MR images has been proposed. The method is based on eliminating impulse noise from MR images. A median-based method to remove impulse noise from digital MR images has been developed. Each pixel is leveled from black to white like gray-level. The method is adjusted in order to decide whether the median operation can be appli...
متن کاملOrigin of metazoan cadherin diversity and the antiquity of the classical cadherin/β-catenin complex.
The evolution of cadherins, which are essential for metazoan multicellularity and restricted to metazoans and their closest relatives, has special relevance for understanding metazoan origins. To reconstruct the ancestry and evolution of cadherin gene families, we analyzed the genomes of the choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta, the unicellular outgroup of choanoflagellates and metazoans Capsas...
متن کاملA Nuclear Function for Armadillo/β-Catenin
The Wnt signaling pathway provides key information during development of vertebrates and invertebrates, and mutations in this pathway lead to various forms of cancer. Wnt binding to its receptor causes the stabilization and nuclear localization of beta-catenin. Nuclear beta-catenin then functions to activate transcription in conjunction with the transcription factor TCF. A recent report has cha...
متن کاملAnother job for β-catenin
Another job for -catenin n cancer cells, -catenin localizes to the nucleus where, together with LEF/TCF factors, it induces hyperactivation of numerous genes involved in carcinogenesis. Previously, researchers thought that most of the -catenin/TCF target genes were active early in disease progression, but the transcription complex appears to work late in the process as well. Gavert et al. (on p...
