Name: ciliary marginal zone
Synonyms: circumferential germinal zone, CMZ, peripheral growth zone, retinal ciliary marginal zone, retinal proliferative zone
Definition: Proliferative region at the periphery of the retina where retinal stem cells are located. After 60 hpf, the CMZ is the source of most retinal growth.
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0001289]
Name: Wnt signaling pathway
Synonyms: frizzled signaling pathway, frizzled signalling pathway, Wg signaling pathway, Wg signalling pathway, Wingless signaling pathway, Wingless signalling pathway, Wnt receptor signaling pathway, Wnt receptor signalling pathway, Wnt-activated signaling pathway
Definition: The series of molecular signals initiated by binding of a Wnt protein to a frizzled family receptor on the surface of a target cell and ending with a change in cell state.
