TCF: Lady Justice casting the final verdict on the outcome of Wnt signallingHelen Brantjes
Department of Immunology, University Hospital Utrecht, The Netherlands
Biol Chem 383:255-61. 2002..In the absence of Wnt signalling, Tcf complexes with several transcriptional repressor proteins ensuring active repression of Tcf target genes. In this review the dual role of Tcf proteins in the Wnt signalling cascade will be discussed...
Tracking down the stem cells of the intestine: strategies to identify adult stem cellsNick Barker
Hubrecht Institute for Developmental Biology and Stem Cell Research, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Gastroenterology 133:1755-60. 2007
You Wnt some, you lose some: oncogenes in the Wnt signaling pathwayJohan H van Es
Hubrecht Laboratory, Netherlands Institute for Developmental Biology, Utrecht, The Netherlands

WNT signaling in the normal intestine and colorectal cancerWim de Lau
Hubrecht Laboratory, Netherlands Institute for Developmental Biology, 3584 CT Utrecht, The Netherlands
Front Biosci 12:471-91. 2007..The Eph/Ephrin system also operates to limit progression of colorectal cancer beyond the early stages...
Mining the Wnt pathway for cancer therapeuticsNick Barker
Hubrecht Laboratory, Netherlands Institute for Developmental Biology, Uppsalalaan 8 3584CT, Utrecht, The Netherlands

Lgr5(+ve) stem/progenitor cells contribute to nephron formation during kidney developmentNick Barker
Hubrecht Institute for Developmental Biology and Stem Cell Research University Medical Centre Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Cell Rep 2:540-52. 2012....
Peyer's patch M cells derived from Lgr5(+) stem cells require SpiB and are induced by RankL in cultured "miniguts"Wim de Lau
Hubrecht Institute for Developmental Biology and Stem Cell Research, Utrecht, and University Medical Centre Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Mol Cell Biol 32:3639-47. 2012..We conclude that RankL-induced expression of SpiB is essential for Lgr5 stem cell-derived epithelial precursors to develop into M cells...
Tissue-resident adult stem cell populations of rapidly self-renewing organsNick Barker
Hubrecht Institute, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Cell Stem Cell 7:656-70. 2010..Here, we review recent advances in adult stem cell biology, highlighting the promise and pitfalls of the candidate biomarkers of the various stem cell populations...
Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptors as markers of adult stem cellsNick Barker
Hubrecht Institute, Uppsalalaan, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Gastroenterology 138:1681-96. 2010..Further studies of these markers might reveal adult stem cell populations in additional tissues. Identification of the ligands for Lgr5 and 6 will help elucidate stem cell functions and modes of intracellular signaling...
Prominin-1/CD133 marks stem cells and early progenitors in mouse small intestineHugo J Snippert
Hubrecht Institute, KNAW and University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Gastroenterology 136:2187-2194.e1. 2009..To determine whether there is a relationship between these markers, we investigated the intestinal expression pattern of Prom1/CD133 and created knock-in mice to visualize and trace Prom1(+) cells...

The inner nuclear membrane protein emerin regulates beta-catenin activity by restricting its accumulation in the nucleusEwa Markiewicz
Department of Biological Science, The School of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, The University of Durham, Durham, UK
EMBO J 25:3275-85. 2006..Our results support recent findings that suggest that INM proteins can influence signalling pathways by restricting access of transcription coactivators to the nucleus...
