“…Wnt7b is a Wnt family ligand important for the proper formation of a number of organs and tissues including the placenta, the eye, the bones, the lungs, the kidney, the central nervous system (CNS), neurons, hair, the pancreas, and olfactory receptor neuron axon connectivity. 70,166,[168][169][170][172][173][174][175][176][177][178][179][180][181][182] Notably, Wnt7b has been reported to regulate vasculature development in the eyes, the brain, and the lungs, by different cellular mechanisms. In the eye, it signals to the endothelial cells of the hyaloid vasculature and activates their apoptosis.…”
