Abstract: The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway controls cell proliferation and differentiation, and therefore, when this pathway is excessively activated, it causes tumorigenesis. Our chemical suppressor screening in zebrafish embryos identified antifungal azoles including clotrimazole, miconazole, and itraconazole,… read more here.
