Anti-LRP5/6 VHHs promote differentiation of Wnt-hypersensitive intestinal stem cells

Enhanced Wnt receptor activity is a major cause of cancer development. Here the authors identify camelid single-domain antibody fragments (VHHs) that bind to the Wnt receptor LRP5/6 ectodomain, determine the crystal structures and show that these VHHs selectively inhibit Wnt3- mediated cellular resp...
