Wnt Signaling, Lgr5, and Stem Cells in the Intestine and Skin
Have a question about Wnt? Roel Nusse's website, a leader in the field at Stanford
From Wikipedia:
The first Wnt gene was discovered by Roel Nusse and Harold Varmus in 1982 when they observed activation of Int1 (integration 1) in the breast tumors of mice infected with mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), in which Int was identified as a vertebrate gene near several integration sites of MMTV.[3] The name Wnt is a portmanteau of Int and Wg (wingless) in Drosophila, which is the best characterized Wnt gene.[4]FReepmail me if you want on or off my stem cell/regenerative medicine ping list.
More good news for mice.
