Preface Secreted Wnt molecules are essential to the coordination of cell fate outcomes in developing and adult tissues and are thus indispensable to animal life. The past few decades of intense research have led to tremendous advances in the assembly of the genetic components necessary for the production of Wnt ligands and for eliciting cellular responses to Wnts. Having leveraged this knowledge to engineer the tools capable of achieving control of Wnt signaling in diverse adult animal tissues, we are now poised to evaluate the potential in modulating Wnt signaling for therapeutic agendas in cancer, wound healing, and degenerative disease. This collection of protocols should facilitate these efforts by providing step-by-step guidance for successfully evaluating researcher-inspired hypotheses. Included are methods fo
