Reposted by @mlodziklab.bsky.socialSCBRMSinai @scbrm.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Two exciting preprints from @mlodziklab.bsky.social lab. In the first preprint, Vuong and Mlodzik describe a novel, essential factor for bcatenin translocation to the nucleus, a big step forward to understand nuclear bcatenin localization. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...biorxiv.orgA novel conserved protein associates with the IFT-A complex to mediate nuclear translocation of β-catenin in Wg/Wnt-signalingWingless (Wg)/Wnt signaling is critical throughout development and tissue homeostasis and associated with many disease states. Canonical Wg/Wnt-signaling is mediated by β-catenin (Arm in Drosophila ) ... 032
