Brief description Wnt proteins are a family of signaling molecules that are critical for the function of normal and cancerous epithelial cells in the gut. However, the cell surface receptor that transmits Wnt signals is not known. Our research strongly implicates one Wnt receptor (FZD7). Here we test this using innovative mouse and cell line models. We wish to understand how Wnt-driven processes are activated. This knowledge will lead to novel avenues to block aberrant activation of Wnt signalling in cancer cells
