Wnt signaling in leukemias and myeloma: T-cell factors are in control

Abstract

Aberrant activation of the Wnt pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many malignancies, especially solid tumors. During the past decade it also became clear that in hematological malignancies abnormal regulation of the Wnt pathway can either be causative or enhance disease progression, which will be discussed in detail in this review.
