Abstract excerpt
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling critical for development, differentiation, and cell growth is involved in several cancers, including medulloblastoma and basal cell carcinoma. Although antagonism of the smoothened receptor (SMO), which mediates Hh signaling, is an attractive therapeutic target, a drug-resistant mutation in SMO (SMO-D473H) was identified in a clinical trial of the approved drug vismodegib. TAK-441 potently...
