Genetic basis for skeletal new bone formation [PDF]
Bone formation is a complex process that occurs throughout life, and is normally limited to the skeletal system. In bone formation, osteoprogenitor cells follow several developmental stages, including differentiation in osteoblasts, proliferation, matrix

Hedgehog (Hh) proteins constitute one family of a small number of secreted signaling proteins that together regulate multiple aspects of animal development, tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Originally uncovered through genetic analyses in Drosophila, their subsequent discovery in vertebrates has provided a paradigm for the role of morphogens in ...

Morphological description and histological structure of the Hedgehog Kidney (Hemiechinus auritus)
This study was aimed to recognize the morphological description and histological structure of the kidney in hedgehog (Hemiechinus auritus). The morphological results showed that the kidney has a small bean shape and reddish brown color.

Wnt Inhibitory Factor 1 Binds to and Inhibits the Activity of Sonic Hedgehog
The hedgehog (Hh) and Wnt pathways, crucial for the embryonic development and stem cell proliferation of Metazoa, have long been known to have similarities that argue for their common evolutionary origin.

ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 13B (ARL13B), a regulatory GTPase and guanine exchange factor (GEF), enriches in primary cilia and promotes tumorigenesis in part by regulating Smoothened (SMO), GLI, and Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling.

Hibernation Patterns of the European Hedgehog, Erinaceus europaeus, at a Cornish Rescue Centre
The European hedgehog, Erinaceus europaeus, is frequently admitted to rescue centres in the UK. With many overwintering in captivity, there is cause to investigate hibernation patterns in order to inform and improve husbandry and monitoring protocols ...

Hedgehogs are increasingly popular pets in the United States and Europe. A number of infections may be acquired from these animals, and hedgehogs are possible hosts of parasites. However, to our knowledge there arc no previous reports of urticarial reactions to hedgehogs.We describe 3 patients who developed an acute, transient, urticarial reaction ...
