Small-molecule modulators of Hedgehog signaling: identification and characterization of Smoothened agonists and antagonists

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is vital to animal development as it mediates the differentiation of multiple cell types during embryogenesis. In adults, Hh signaling can be activated to facilitate tissue maintenance and repair....
