Wnt signalling shows its versatility

Curr Biol. 1999 Sep 23;9(18):R684-7. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(99)80439-4.

Abstract

Wnt signalling controls many different cell fate choices in a wide variety of animal species. Recent studies have revealed that regulatory interactions at several steps in the pathway can modify its outcome, helping to explain how the same pathway can, in different contexts, have very different characteristics and consequences.
