Kinases and G proteins join the Wnt receptor complex

Article Abstract:

Wnt proteins form a family secreted signaling proteins that play a key role in various developmental events such as cell differentiation, cell migration, cell polarity and cell proliferation. Several new publications indicate that Frizzled receptors are G-protein coupled and kinases are identified that phosphorylate the co-receptor LRP6.

Cell diversity in the retina: more than meets the eye

Article Abstract:

The vertebrate retina is a complex neuronal network comprising six general classes of neurons. An experiment was conducted and the findings suggested that even late aspects of eye development, including cell type specification, also share common molecular machinery.

The Cdx1 homeodomain protein: an integrator of posterior signaling in the mouse

Article Abstract:

A brief review of Cdx expression and function, with particular emphasis on vertebrate model systems is presented. The vertebrate Cdx gene products are implicated in the development of the posterior embryo.
