Abstract Background Developmental control of jaw size is crucial to prevent birth defects and facilitate evolutionary adaptation. We have shown that jaw size is established by neural crest mesenchyme (NCM), which are progenitor cells that migrate into the mandibular primordia and produce the jaws.

Roughing Up Smoothened: Chemical Modulators of Hedgehog Signaling [PDF]
Small-molecule antagonists of Hedgehog-pathway signaling, such as cyclopamine, have been known for some time. Now, small-molecule agonists of the Hedgehog pathway have also been identified.

Abstract Neural crest cells are multipotent, migratory stem‐like cells essential for vertebrate development that contribute broadly to many tissues including the craniofacial skeleton, peripheral nervous system, and pigment‐producing cells. Their development progresses through phases of induction, specification, delamination, migration, and ...

Significance Previous studies localized the hedgehog (HH) signaling system to primary cilia. We discovered that motile cilia on airway epithelia also contain HH signaling proteins, indicating that like primary cilia, these motile cilia have an ...

Abstract This article advances three claims regarding the matrilineal organization of Wiradjuri society in central New South Wales. Drawing on the late nineteenth and early twentieth century ethnographic record, it demonstrates that Wiradjuri descent, totem, moiety identity, and ceremonial authority were and are matrilineally organized, despite ...

A Hedgehog–Foxf axis coordinates dental follicle-derived alveolar bone formation
The alveolar bone is a specialized mineralized structure supporting the lifelong functionality of the tooth in mastication. The alveolar bone develops from the dental follicle (DF) during tooth root formation due to deliberate epithelial–mesenchymal ...

Somatic cell reprogramming for Parkinson's disease treatment
The fundamental purpose of cell reprogramming to treat Parkinson's disease is to generate dopaminergic neurons (DAN) and do transplantation. There are two ways to accomplish this. One method is to induce cells into induced DA neurons (iDAN) directly or to induce cells into induced pluripotent stem cells and ultimately into iDAN in vitro. Another option

Hedgehog signaling in human hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth most common malignancy and one of the leading causes of death world wide. Signaling pathways important for tumor initiation and progression in HCC are poorly understood.

ABSTRACT This paper considers the tensions between different organizational strategic decision‐making approaches at various levels of uncertainty. Of particular focus are the mechanisms for defaulting to lower uncertainty, from the Cynefin framework's unordered chaotic and complex domains to the more ordered complicated and obvious domains.
