Frizzled and LRP5/6 are Wnt receptors that upon activation lead to stabilization of cytoplasmic β-catenin. In this study, we review the current knowledge of these two families of …
Wnt signaling regulates a variety of cellular processes, including cell fate, differentiation, proliferation and stem cell pluripotency. Aberrant Wnt signaling is a hallmark of many …
