Abstract excerpt
The Hedgehog signaling pathway regulates the development and function of numerous tissues and when mis-regulated causes tumorigenesis. To assess the role of a deregulated Hedgehog signaling pathway in the mammary gland we targeted the expression of the Hedgehog effector protein, GLI1, to mammary epithelial cells using a bigenic inducible system. A constitutively active Hedgehog signaling pathway resulted with...
