The ZIC3 Heterotaxy-associated transcription factor: a new player in nuclear control of canonical Wnt signalling

Humans have many internal asymmetries that need to occur in a consistent manner across all individuals. Examples of asymmetry include our unpaired organs (like the heart or liver) or a paired organ with asymmetry (like the lungs). In this project we will use cutting edge molecular embryology and cell biology techniques to explore the mechanisms behind the remarkable feat of establishing asymmetry so we are better able to help those individuals with laterality disorders.
