Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The smoothened (SMO) receptor is an essential component of the Sonic hedgehog (SHH) signalling, which is associated with the development of skin basal cell carcinoma (BCC).

Unfortunately, SMO inhibitors are not always well tolerated due to severe side effects, and their therapeutical success is...
