New findings on intercellular communication

(Universit é libre de Bruxelles) This is a nice example of a rather unexpected discovery: by studying the development of the blood vessels of the brain, researchers at Universit é libre de Bruxelles have just shed light on a question that was pending for 10 years! They provide a molecular mechanism conferring ligand specificity to Wnt signaling, an ancestral communication pathway present in all vertebrates. Their research is published in Science.
