Antagonizing the hedgehog pathway with vismodegib impairs malignant pleural mesothelioma growth in vivo by affecting stroma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
An autocrine driven upregulation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway has been described in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), in which the ligand, desert hedgehog (DHH), was produced from tumor cells. However, our investigation revealed that the Hh
