Journal ArticleDOI

beta-Catenin controls hair follicle morphogenesis and stem cell differentiation in the skin.

TL;DR: It is shown that beta-catenin is required genetically downstream of tabby/downless and upstream of bmp and shh in placode formation and is essential for fate decisions of skin stem cells: in the absence of beta-Catenin, stem cells fail to differentiate into follicular keratinocytes, but instead adopt an epidermal fate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions between cancer stem cells and their niche govern metastatic colonization

TL;DR: It is suggested that the education of stromal cells by infiltrating tumour cells is an important step in metastatic colonization and that preventing de novo niche formation may be a novel strategy for the treatment of metastatic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Requirement for beta-catenin in anterior-posterior axis formation in mice.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that β-catenin function is essential in anterior-posterior axis formation in the mouse, and experiments with chimeric embryos show that this function is required in the embryonic ectoderm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cutaneous cancer stem cell maintenance is dependent on beta-catenin signalling.

TL;DR: A population of cells in early epidermal tumours characterized by phenotypic and functional similarities to normal bulge skin stem cells is identified and β-catenin signalling is described as being essential in sustaining the CSC phenotype.
