Hedgehog can signal both at a short and long-range, and acts as a morphogen during development in various systems. We studied the mechanisms of Hh release and spread using the Drosophila wing imaginal disc as a model system for polarized epithelium. We analyzed the cooperative role of the glypican Dally, the extracellular factor Shifted (Shf, also known as DmWif), and the Immunoglobulin-like (Ig-like) and...
