“…Wnt5a moderates many cellular events, including cell adhesion (Jonsson and Andersson, 2001;Torres et al, 1996;Toyofuku et al, 2000;Weeraratna et al, 2002), migration (Jonsson and Andersson, 2001), proliferation (Liang et al, 2003;Yamaguchi et al, 1999) and differentiation (He et al, 1997;Kuhl et al, 2001;Kuhl et al, 2000;Sheldahl et al, 1999). These findings suggest that Wnt5a is a good candidate for coordinating pulmonary air and vascular pattern formation.…”
