Macrophage-derived WNT regulates tumor immune microenvironment to reduce colitis-associated colon cancer

Payel Bhanja, Rishi Man Chugh, Shujah Rehman…·Subhrajit Saha

This study shows that macrophage-derived WNT inhibits GSK-3β, reducing immunosuppression and tumor growth in colitis-associated colon cancer.

Modulation of β-Catenin is important to promote WNT expression in macrophages and mitigate intestinal injury

Rishi Man Chugh, Payel Bhanja, Ryan Zitter…·Subhrajit Saha

This study shows that modulating β-Catenin in macrophages increases WNT expression, and WNT-enriched EVs from these macrophages reduce intestinal injury.
