Tales from the crypt: new insights into intestinal stem cells.

TL;DR: How the niche protects and instructs intestinal stem cells is investigated, which processes drive differentiation of mature cells and how imbalance in key signalling pathways can cause human disease are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wnt signaling in development and tissue homeostasis.

TL;DR: An overview of Wnt-β-catenin signaling highlighting its key functions during development and adult tissue homeostasis is provided.

Targeting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in cancer.

TL;DR: This scoping review aims at outlining the latest progress on the current approaches and perspectives of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway targeted therapy in various cancer types and better understanding of the updates on the inhibitors, antagonists and activators rationalizes innovative strategies for personalized cancer treatment.

Acquisition of a hybrid E/M state is essential for tumorigenicity of basal breast cancer cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that tumorigenicity depends on individual cells residing in this E/M hybrid state and cannot be phenocopied by mixing two cell populations that reside stably at the two ends of the spectrum, Hence, residence in a specific intermediate state along the E–M spectrum rather than phenotypic plasticity appears critical to the expression of tumor-initiating capacity.

Single Lgr5 stem cells build crypt-villus structures in vitro without a mesenchymal niche.

TL;DR: It is concluded that intestinal crypt–villus units are self-organizing structures, which can be built from a single stem cell in the absence of a non-epithelial cellular niche.

Identification of stem cells in small intestine and colon by marker gene Lgr5

TL;DR: The expression pattern of Lgr5 suggests that it marks stem cells in multiple adult tissues and cancers, suggesting that it represents the stem cell of the small intestine and colon.

Wnt/β-catenin signaling and disease.

TL;DR: An update of the core Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is provided, how its various components contribute to disease, and outstanding questions to be addressed in the future are discussed.

Activation of β-Catenin-Tcf Signaling in Colon Cancer by Mutations in β-Catenin or APC

TL;DR: Results indicate that regulation of β-catenin is critical to APC's tumor suppressive effect and that this regulation can be circumvented by mutations in either APC or β- catenin.
