Published: 28 June 2004Abstract
Constitutive activation of the Wnt signaling pathway during lung development in mouse embryos causes some cells to develop a gut-like phenotype. These findings are reminiscent of classical embryological experiments and may have therapeutic implications for pre-cancerous metaplasias.
