Abstract excerpt
The current concept of tumourigenesis holds that cancer results from the progressive acquisition of mutations that endow affected cells with selective growth advantages by activating multiple processes including intrinsic mitogenic and pro-survival pathways. Constitutive activation of the Hedgehog (HH)/GLI signalling cascade has recently been implicated in the growth of a number of human malignancies ranging from...
