Vitamin D receptor is crucial for starting hair growth after birth.
research WNT10A promotes an invasive and self-renewing phenotype in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
WNT10A helps esophageal cancer cells spread and keep renewing themselves.
research Involvement of Wnt, Eda and Shh at defined stages of sweat gland development
Wnt, Eda, and Shh pathways are crucial for different stages of sweat gland development in mice.
