Wnt signaling in axon guidance
Abstract
Recent studies have identified Wnt proteins as conserved axon guidance molecules in vertebrates and invertebrates. Wnt proteins are a large family of diffusible factors that play several important roles, both in embryonic development and in adult function. The signaling mechanisms of Wnt proteins are complex and, because Wnts are newly discovered as axon guidance cues, little is known about how Wnt signaling controls the direction of growth cone navigation - a process that is crucial in development of the nervous system. This review summarizes recent work on the role of Wnts in axon guidance and discusses the possible signaling mechanisms involved in growth cone guidance. Understanding how Wnts regulate axon wiring will not only help us to understand how the nervous system is connected but also provide possible tools for axon regeneration.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
