Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling

Meaning

Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling is a highly conserved and fundamental cellular communication pathway critical for regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and tissue polarity during embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. It is a canonical pathway that plays a central role in stem cell maintenance, organogenesis, and the pathogenesis of various diseases, including cancer and bone disorders. Dysregulation of this pathway is often linked to age-related decline and aberrant cellular behavior.
