TLDR
This review will give a brief overview of the fundamental and evolving concepts of the Wnt/Ca(2+) signaling pathway.Abstract:
The non-canonical Wnt/Ca(2+) signaling cascade is less characterized than their canonical counterpart, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. The non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways are diverse, defined as planer cell polarity pathway, Wnt-RAP1 signaling pathway, Wnt-Ror2 signaling pathway, Wnt-PKA pathway, Wnt-GSK3MT pathway, Wnt-aPKC pathway, Wnt-RYK pathway, Wnt-mTOR pathway, and Wnt/calcium signaling pathway. All these pathways exhibit a considerable degree of overlap between them. The Wnt/Ca(2+) signaling pathway was deciphered as a crucial mediator in development. However, now there is substantial evidence that the signaling cascade is involved in many other molecular phenomena. Many aspects of Wnt/Ca(2+) pathway are yet enigmatic. This review will give a brief overview of the fundamental and evolving concepts of the Wnt/Ca(2+) signaling pathway.read more

The complex world of WNT receptor signalling
TL;DR: What emerges is an intricate network of receptors that form higher-order ligand–receptor complexes routing downstream signalling that is regulated both extracellularly by agonists such as R-spondin and intracellulary by post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation, proteolytic processing and endocytosis.

Wnt5a Induces Endothelial Inflammation via β-Catenin–Independent Signaling
Jihun Kim,Jungtae Kim,Dong Wook Kim,Yunhi Ha,Min Hwan Ihm,Hyeri Kim,Kyuyoung Song,Inchul Lee +7 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that endothelial inflammation is regulated by a dual system consisting of β-catenin–independent Wnt signaling and TNF-α–mediated signaling, and the role of Wnt5a as an inflammatory mediator in vivo is supported.

WntD is a feedback inhibitor of Dorsal/NF-κB in Drosophila development and immunity
TL;DR: D wntD acts as a feedback inhibitor of the NF-κB homologue Dorsal during both embryonic patterning and the innate immune response to infection, and is described as the first secreted feedback antagonist of Toll signalling, and demonstrates a novel Wnt activity in the fly.
