The hedgehog signaling pathway, as the target in cancer treatment

9114 views | Nov 18 2011

The hedgehog(Hh) signaling pathway is one of the key regulators of animal development and is present in all bilaterians. The Hh family of proteins have since been recognized to involve in many fundamental processes in vertebrate embryonic development and play an important role in regulating cell fate, patterning, proliferation, survival and differentiation of many different regions. In the embryonic period, dysfunction in the Hh signaling pathway will lead to brain, facial and other midline defects such as holoprosencephaly, cyclopia, absent nose or cleft palate.
