and pattern formation. With this Review, we aim to give an up-to-date picture of how a …

Sonic hedgehog is not a limb morphogen but acts as a trigger to specify all digits in mice

J Zhu, R Patel, A Trofka, BD Harfe, S Mackem - Developmental cell, 2022 - cell.com
Limb patterning by Sonic hedgehog (Shh), via either graded spatial or temporal signal

Retinoic acid influences the timing and scaling of avian wing development

H Stainton, M Towers - Cell Reports, 2022 - cell.com
A fundamental question in biology is how embryonic development is timed between different
species. To address this problem, we compared wing development in the quail and the …

A switch in cilia-mediated Hedgehog signaling controls muscle stem cell quiescence and cell cycle progression
