Dysregulation of the Wnt pathway is implicated in numerous diseases, most notably cancer. Appropriate manipulations for intervention and therapy require an accurate understanding of the Wnt signaling mechanism. The consensus model for the Wnt pathway is surprisingly straightforward: In the OFF state of the pathway, the central regulator in the pathway, termed the destruction complex (DC) targets beta-catenin for degradation, thereby preventing it from nuclear signaling. In the ON state, ligand activation of the Wnt receptor inhibits DC activity, leading to beta-catenin accumulation and transcription of Wnt target genes. 000008347 540__ $$fCC BY 000008347 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008347 6531_ $$awnt signaling mechanism 000008347 6531_ $$adisease development 000008347 6531_ $$abimolecular fluorescence complementation 000008347 6531_ $$astem cells 000008347 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008347 692__ $$aDepartment of Integrative Biomedical and Diagnostic Sciences$$041418 000008347 7001_ $$aWehrli, Marcel$$uOregon Health and Science University 000008347 7001_ $$aPetshow, Samuel$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008347 7001_ $$aHansen, Kevin$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008347 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008347 8564_ $$9f0faa482-3dac-4c8e-ab99-dc1f0f20e7df$$s41740$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8347/files/ResearchWeek.2020.Wehrli.Marcel.pdf 000008347 905__ $$a/rest/prod/xp/68/kg/99/xp68kg99h 000008347 980__ $$aResearch Week
