Misregulation of Wnt Signaling Pathways at the Plasma Membrane in Brain and Metabolic Diseases

Wnt signaling pathways constitute a group of signal transduction pathways that direct many physiological processes, such as development, growth, and differentiation. Dysregulation of these pathways is thus associated with many pathological processes, including neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic d...
