Inhibition of Wnt signaling pathway suppresses radiation-induced dermal fibrosis

Abstract Progressive fibrosis of the dermal tissues is a challenging complication of radiotherapy whose underlying mechanism is not fully understood, and there are few available treatments. The canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays an important role in fibrosis as well as in the epithelial...
