Hedgehogs and Hedgehog-Head Boats in Ancient Egyptian Religion in the Late 3rd Millennium BCE

open access: yesArts, 2022
Hedgehogs held a special place in ancient Egyptian life like many other desert- and marsh-dwelling animals. Their natural defensive qualities were admired by ancient Egyptians and their bodily parts, notably their hardened spines, were used as ...

Understanding miR‐200c: an Important Player in Resistance to Cancer Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
How can one microRNA alter cancer's response to therapy? miR‐200c plays a central role in therapeutic resistance by modulating epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, apoptosis, cancer stemness features, and drug efflux. This review outlines the context‐dependent functions of miR‐200c in various cancers and highlights its potential as both a biomarker and a

Exposure of Urban European Hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) to Toxoplasma gondii in Highly Populated Areas of Northeast Spain

open access: yesAnimals
Toxoplasma gondii is a generalist zoonotic parasite that involves a wide range of warm-blooded animals as intermediate hosts and felines as definitive hosts.

Endoparasite Infections of the European Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) in Central Italy

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
The European hedgehog is a synanthropic mammal, widely distributed in Europe. This species usually inhabits the edges of deciduous or mixed woods, but it is also very common in private gardens and public parks.

Advances in Microfluidic Cochlea‐On‐A‐Chip

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines diverse cell sources for inner ear organoids and outlines stepwise induction protocols. Furthermore, it discusses current applications and prospective developments of cochlea‐on‐a‐chip technologies in areas such as deafness modeling, mechanistic studies, and drug evaluation, with particular focus on gene‐therapy drug

Activation of hedgehog signaling is not a frequent event in ovarian cancers

open access: yesMolecular Cancer, 2009
The hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway regulates many processes of development and tissue homeostasis. Activation of hedgehog signaling has been reported in about 30% of human cancer including ovarian cancer.

Hedgehogs are not colour blind [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorics, 2017
We exhibit a family of $3$-uniform hypergraphs with the property that their $2$-colour Ramsey numbers grow polynomially in the number of vertices, while their $4$-colour Ramsey numbers grow exponentially. This is the first example of a class of hypergraphs whose Ramsey numbers show a strong dependence on the number of colours.

NOX2 Contributes to High‐Frequency Outer Hair Cell Vulnerability in the Cochlea

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study first identifies NOX2 as a differentially expressed gene related to oxidative damage in the apical and basal turns through single‐cell RNA sequencing. NOX2 gene knockout mitigates OHCs damage caused by neomycin and noise and enhances Nrf2 expression and nuclear translocation.

Activation of the hedgehog pathway in advanced prostate cancer

open access: yesMolecular Cancer, 2004
Background The hedgehog pathway plays a critical role in the development of prostate. However, the role of the hedgehog pathway in prostate cancer is not clear. Prostate cancer is the second most prevalent cause of cancer death in American men. Therefore,

Hedgehog stimulates hair follicle neogenesis by creating inductive dermis during murine skin wound healing

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Mammalian wounds typically heal by fibrotic repair without hair follicle (HF) regeneration. Fibrosis and regeneration are currently considered the opposite end of wound healing. This study sought to determine if scar could be remodeled to promote healing
