Wnt/GSK-3β mediates posttranslational modifications of FLYWCH1 to regulate intestinal epithelial function and tumorigenesis in the colon

Description
A recent study by BDI's School of Medicine collegues uncovers a novel regulatory mechanism of ß-catenin—a key player in Wnt signalling—distinguishing its role in healthy tissue versus tumour environments. They reveal that the previously uncharacterized transcription factor FLYWCH1 directly interacts with the Wnt/GSK-3ß axis, impacting critical signalling pathways that control intestinal regeneration and influencing colorectal cancer (CRC) development.
