Wnt signaling regulates passive cell competition in the retina by inducing differential cell adhesion

Xuanyu Min, Alyssa Chow, Yingyu Mao, Hao Wu, Neoklis Makrides, Josh Bock, Yihua Wu, Yelenia Almonte, Chenqi Tao, Xin Zhang

The paper shows that Wnt signaling, through {beta}-catenin, regulates passive cell competition in the retina by inducing a cadherin switch that segregates cells into distinct compartments.

mTOR regulates Wnt signaling to promote tension-mediated lens vesicle closure

Qian Wang, Hao Wu, Yingyu Mao, Alyssa Chow, Michael Bouaziz, Yihua Wu, Xin Zhang

This study identifies an mTOR-Wnt-Rac1 signaling axis that regulates cytoskeletal tension to drive lens vesicle closure, with disruptions leading to developmental defects like Peters anomaly.
