The WNT signaling pathways are major regulators of organ development. Ample research
over the past few decades revealed that these pathways are critically involved in adult tissue
homeostasis and stem cell function as well as the development of chronic diseases, such as
cancer and fibrosis. In this review, we will describe the different WNT signal pathways,
summarize the current evidence of WNT signal involvement in wound healing and fibrosis,
and highlight potential novel therapeutic options for fibrotic disorders targeting WNT …
