Abstract
CNS angiogenesis and blood-brain barrier integrity are controlled by the canonical Wnt pathway. In this issue of Neuron, Cho et al. (2017) use advanced mouse genetics and biochemical experiments to unravel the ligand-specific association of membrane proteins GPR124 and RECK with Wnt receptor complexes.
