Read MoreThe group of Isabel Guerrero at CBM-SO, has recently described how Hedgehog (Hh) signal molecules, which play a fundamental role in development, adult stem cell maintenance and cancer, can signal at a distance via a graded distribution across Drosophila epithelia that is mediated by filopodia-like structures called cytonemes. Hh reception by Patched (Ptc) happens at […]
