Wnt signaling activates the gene encoding DVL-1; the latter suppresses B-catenin by promoting its degradation through enhanced inactivation of glycogen-synthase-kinase 3 (GSK3)," scientists writing in the journal Oncology Reports report.
"Here we demonstrate increased expression of DVL-1 mRNA in...
