COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING/TREATING DISEASE BASED ON BETA-CATENIN/TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR INTERACTIONS

摘要

Methods and compositions are described that are useful for diagnosing and/or treating disease arising from unwanted cell growth, preferably cancer, involving diagnosing cells for stabilized beta-catenin, or treating cells with compounds that disrupt or alter the formation of a complex consisting of beta-catenin/transcription factor, where the transcription factor is a member of the Lef/Tcf family.
