title: An arrow hits the Wnt signaling pathway.
abstract: A recent series of papers in Nature shows that low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein family members play a role in transduction of Wnt signals. These findings, in addition to other work from the past two years, have important implications for the role of Wnts in neural development.
