POU5F1 and cancer: Given the overlap in molecular mechanisms between cancer and regenerative biology, particularly in pathways such as mTOR and Wnt signaling, genes involved in these overlapping pathways—such as PDGFB, TGFA, NRP1, EPHB2, WNT5A, RRAS, NCK1, WNT5B, PLXNA1, POU5F1, and LRP5—could potentially contribute to tissue repair.
