Wnt/B-catenin signaling in vertebrate posterior neural development

The Wnt/[beta]-catenin signaling pathway is a key regulator of cell fate specification, differentiation, and growth in multiple systems throughout the animal kingdom. In vertebrate posterior neural development, Wnt/[beta]-catenin signaling controls this complex multistep process. It initially induce...
