Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is an essential signaling peptide required for normal embryonic development. It represents a highly-conserved marker of odontogenesis amongst the toothed vertebrates. Signal transduction is involved in early specification of the...
This Special Issue of Journal of Developmental Biology (JDB) covers an indeed very “special” (at least to me) family of highly evolutionarily conserved genes, the Hox genes.[...]
A substantial amount of data has highlighted the crucial influence of Shh signalling on the generation of diverse classes of neurons and glial cells throughout the developing central nervous system. A critical step leading to this diversity is the es...
