The Wnt pathway plays a central role in cell signaling, development, and disease, yet studying it often poses technical challenges. Its complexity stems from a tightly regulated network of proteins and receptors that drive processes such as stem cell renewal, tissue regeneration, and cancer progression.

Neurons are the dynamic, anatomically, functionally, and trophically vital units of the brain, responsible for electrochemically transmitting information across the nervous system. While all neurons share common morphological features, their regional specialization is what truly drives brain function.

We are excited to announce and launch two new products for Wnt/β-catenin signaling research: the TCF/LEF Dual Reporter Vector (TDRV, Catalog No. 9038) and the Luciferase Assay Kit (LAK, Catalog No. 9048).
