Sonic Hedgehog: A Morphogen and Axonal Guidance Cue
Hedgehog is probably the most well-known morphogen in embryo development. As a
multifunctional molecule involved in cell differentiation, cell proliferation
and tissue patterning, hedgehog's functions as a morphogen have been
extensively studied. However, recent studies about another morphogen - BMP
family revealed its involvement in repelling spinal cord commissural axons.
Thus the possibility that Sonic H
