Journal ArticleDOI

Stem cells, cancer, and cancer stem cells

TL;DR: Stem cell biology has come of age: Unequivocal proof that stem cells exist in the haematopoietic system has given way to the prospective isolation of several tissue-specific stem and progenitor cells, the initial delineation of their properties and expressed genetic programmes, and the beginnings of their utility in regenerative medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wnt signalling in stem cells and cancer

TL;DR: Insights gained from understanding how the Wnt pathway is integrally involved in both stem cell and cancer cell maintenance and growth in the intestinal, epidermal and haematopoietic systems may serve as a paradigm for understanding the dual nature of self-renewal signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wnt proteins are lipid-modified and can act as stem cell growth factors

TL;DR: This work isolated active Wnt molecules, including the product of the mouse Wnt3a gene, and found the proteins to be palmitoylated on a conserved cysteine, indicating that the lipid is important for signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI

A role for Wnt signalling in self-renewal of haematopoietic stem cells

TL;DR: It is concluded that the Wnt signalling pathway is critical for normal HSC homeostasis in vitro and in vivo, and insight is provided into a potential molecular hierarchy of regulation of HSC development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucose feeds the TCA cycle via circulating lactate.

TL;DR: It is found that lactate can be a primary source of carbon for the TCA cycle and thus of energy, and during the fasted state, the contribution of glucose to tissue TCA metabolism is primarily indirect (via circulating lactate) in all tissues except the brain.
