Wnt signaling in Development and Disease: Molecular Mechanisms
and Biological Functions reviews the core topics in Wnt
signaling, from molecular pathway mechanisms to its role in
embryogenesis, adult tissue homeostasis, and chronic disease.
Written by a team of expert reviewers, the book provides clear and
concise coverage of the core foundations of Wnt signaling before
advancing to discussion of cutting-edge scientific research.
Focused on the biological insights and current scientific questions
of Wnt signaling, this book will be a comprehensive and definitive
resource for a wide range of researchers and students in cell
signaling, cell physiology, developmental biology, and biomedical
engineering, as well as anyone interested in learning more about
this important and complex protein network.

* A definitive source of information on Wnt signaling
and its role in development and disease, written by leaders in the
field.

* Explores the role of Wnt signaling in chronic disease
such as melanoma, colorectal cancer, dementia, and psychiatric
diseases

* Reviews the complex processes of signal integration
and regulation

* Features broad discussion of Wnt signaling biology as
well as detailed discussion of the pathway's role in diseases
and potential clinical applications.

Stefan P. Hoppler, PhD, is Professor in Developmental Biology at the School of Medical Sciences at the University of Aberdeen. In addition to his teaching duties Prof. Hoppler runs research programs looking at Wnt inhibitors in heart muscle differentiation and tissue-specific regulation of gene expression by Wnt/beta-catenin signalling, and he also serves on the editorial board for the journal Developmental Dynamics. Randall T. Moon, PhD, is Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. His lab focuses on identifying the normal roles of Wnt signaling in embryos and adults and applying that knowledge to develop therapies for acute and chronic medical conditions involving Wnt signaling. Dr. Moon is Founding Director of the University of Washington Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, and a member of the Paul Allen Brain Institute Cell Networks Advisory Council, the HHMI Medical Research Fellows Program panel, and College of CSR Reviewers for NIH.
