Sonic hedgehog: making the gradient [PDF]
The amino-terminal peptide of Sonic hedgehog is a cell-tethered molecule, which nevertheless seems to provide a developmental signal that acts at a distance and has different effects depending on its concentration. Recent structural data suggest that zinc-dependent proteolysis may somehow be involved in Sonic hedgehog's function.

A highlight on Sonic hedgehog pathway
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway plays an essential role during vertebrate embryonic development and tumorigenesis. It is already known that Sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway is important for the evolution of radio and chemo-resistance of several types of ...

Sonic Hedgehog Signaling in Thyroid Cancer [PDF]
Thyroid cancer is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system. The initiation of thyroid cancer is often triggered by a genetic mutation in the phosphortidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) or mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, such as RAS ...

Probing extracellular Sonic hedgehog in neurons [PDF]
The bioactivity of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) depends on specific lipid modifications; a palmitate at its N-terminus and a cholesterol at its C-terminus. This dual-lipid modification makes Shh molecules lipophilic, which prevents them from diffusing freely in ...

The role of Sulf1 during Sonic hedgehog mediated neural patterning [PDF]
Heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are large molecules distributed ubiquitously, both at the cell surface and within the extracellular matrix. These molecules are known to play essential roles in developmental cell signalling, and the differential ...

Analysis of Sonic Hedgehog signalling pathway gene expression in Basal Cell Carcinoma and in GLII induced systems [PDF]
PhDEmbryonic development is regulated by a number of signalling pathways, Which are critical for normal growth. Many of these genes then continue to play an important role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation in adult.

Sonic hedgehog signaling in astrocytes [PDF]
AbstractAstrocytes are complex cells that perform a broad array of essential functions in the healthy and injured nervous system. The recognition that these cells are integral components of various processes, including synapse formation, modulation of synaptic activity, and response to injury, underscores the need to identify the molecular signaling ...
