Wnt transport mechanisms during vertebrate tissue patterning
Abstract:
Wnt signalling is one of the key pathways regulating numerous important processes during development and adult tissue maintenance. Wnt proteins act as morphogens originating from a Wnt source forming a gradient in the responding tissues to allow pattern formation. The exact mechanism how Wnt proteins are distributed to form gradients is still poorly understood.During my thesis, I analysed in detail how Wnts are distributed to form a gradient.
