Dynamic Compression Improves Chondrogenesis in the Tissue Engineered Model of Cartilage
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hyaline cartilage is a dense avascular tissue with low regenerative potential, present at the ends of the diarthrodial joints and in the cartilage growth plate. Skeletal diseases often result from extracellular changes in this tissue; however, studies of these are hindered by the tissue complexity, the difficulty in obtaining human material ...

Intraflagellar transport is deeply integrated in hedgehog signaling
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2018 The vertebrate hedgehog pathway is organized in primary cilia, and hedgehog components relocate into or out of cilia during signaling. Defects in intraflagellar transport (IFT) typically disrupt ciliary assembly and attenuate hedgehog signaling ...

Structural insights into the role of the Smoothened cysteine-rich domain in Hedgehog signalling. [PDF]
, 2013 Smoothened (Smo) is a member of the Frizzled (FzD) class of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and functions as the key transducer in the Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway.

Phosphorylation at the Helm: Kinase‐Mediated Regulation of Primary Cilia Assembly and Disassembly
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The primary cilium serves as an antenna of most vertebrate cells and is important for conveying cues from several signaling pathways into appropriate cellular responses during development and homeostasis. Cilia assembly and disassembly processes are thought to be strictly controlled; however, the precise nature of molecular events underlying ...

The role of glypicans in Hedgehog signaling
Matrix Biology, 2014 Glypicans (GPCs) are a family of proteoglycans that are bound to the cell surface by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor. Six glypicans have been found in the mammalian genome (GPC1 to GPC6). GPCs regulate several signaling pathways, including the pathway triggered by Hedgehogs (Hhs).

Gastric cancer and Hedgehog signaling pathway: emerging new paradigms
Genes & cancer, 2018 Ever since its initial discovery in Drosophila, hedgehog signaling has been linked to foregut development, The mammalian genome expresses three Hedgehog paralogues, sonic hedgehog (Shh), Indian Hedgehog, and desert hedgehog.

The Sonic Hedgehog Pathway Stimulates Prostate Tumor Growth by Paracrine Signaling and Recaptures Embryonic Gene Expression in Tumor Myofibroblasts [PDF]
, 2009 The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway contributes to prostate cancer growth and progression. The presence of robust Shh expression in both normal prostate and localized cancer challenged us to explain the unique growth promoting effect in cancer.

Dynamics of primary cilia in endothelial and mesenchymal cells throughout mouse lung development
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Cilia are specialized structures found on a variety of mammalian cells, with variable roles in the transduction of mechanical and biological signals (by primary cilia, PC), as well as in the generation of fluid flow (by motile cilia). Their critical role in the establishment of a left–right axis in early development is well described, as well ...
