TNIK inhibition abrogates colorectal cancer stemness

TRAF2 and NCK-interacting protein kinase (TNIK) is a key regulatory component of the TCF4 and β-catenin transcriptional complex. In this study, the authors identify a TNIK inhibitor that blocks Wnt signalling and Wnt-driven colorectal tumorigenesis in mice.
