Epithelial Wnt secretion drives the progression of inflammation-induced colon carcinoma in murine model

Summary: Colon cancer is initiated by stem cells that escape the strict control. This process is often driven through aberrant activation of Wnt signaling by mutations in components acting downstream of the receptor complex that unfetter tumor cells from the need for Wnts. Here we describe a class o...
