Finally a massive thanks to all coauthors who arenโ€™t on this platform but all helped get this over the line despite retirement, pregnancy/new children and surgery! It was huge endeavour.

The review process at @natcomms.nature.com was thorough and thanks to the exceptional reviewers (all 5 of them) for their in depth review which challenged us and ultimately improved the manuscript

Wnt signalosome assembly is governed by conformational flexibility of Axin and by the AP2 clathrin adaptor - Nature Communications Gammons et al. describe how the clustering of the Wnt receptor complex in clathrin-coated locales allows Axin and GSK3 to dock at adjacent tails of the LRP6 co-receptor to assemble a signalosome that ...

Excited to share our recent paper on the Wnt signalosome www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Inspiring Scientists at CIMR-MBU 2025 | Cambridge Institute for Medical Research During February half term we welcomed the latest cohort of sixth-form students to our Inspiring Scientists programme (ISAC/M), run in collaboration with the MRC MBU and St Catharineโ€™s College.

We loved hosting the latest cohort of students to our ISAC/M programme over half term, along with @mrc-mbu.bsky.social and St Catharine's College. What a fantastic group of young people! www.cimr.cam.ac.uk/news/inspiri...

Early bird registration discount may have passed but #WNTUK2025 is still open for standard registration and abstract submission. Still plenty of speaker/poster slots available for all career levels and areas of Wnt signalling.

Abstract deadline Feb 1st and we are just over 8 weeks from the big day!
