Low wnt/β-catenin signaling determines leaky vessels in the subfornical organ and affects water homeostasis in mice
The circumventricular organs (CVOs) in the central nervous system (CNS) lack a vascular blood-brain barrier (BBB), creating communication sites for sensory or secretory neurons, involved in body homeostasis. Wnt/β-catenin signaling is essential for BBB development and maintenance in endothelial cell...
