Abstract
Combined efforts of developmental biologists and cancer geneticists have outlined the canonical Wnt/Wingless (Wg) signalling pathway as we currently know it. At the heart of the pathway is the molecule
-catenin/Armadillo. Recent work has shown that the tumour suppressor adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) acts to shuttle
-catenin from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
