There is room for improvement in the use of scoping reviews in dentistry.

Objective: To evaluate the reporting of authors' justifications for choosing the scoping review methodology in oral health.

Study Selection, Data And Source: This is a meta-research study about scoping reviews in dentistry. This study searched for reviews in PubMed and Scopus without year restrictions and restricted to English-language publications.

Stabilization of beta-catenin by a Wnt-independent mechanism regulates cardiomyocyte growth.

beta-Catenin is a transcriptional activator that regulates embryonic development as part of the Wnt pathway and also plays a role in tumorigenesis. The mechanisms leading to Wnt-induced stabilization of beta-catenin, which results in its translocation to the nucleus and activation of transcription, have been an area of intense interest. However, it is not clear whether stimuli other than Wnts can lead to important stabilization of beta-catenin and, if so, what factors mediate that stabilization and what biologic processes might be regulated.
