Abstract excerpt
Two genetic diseases, Gorlin syndrome and McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), show completely opposite symptoms in terms of bone mineral density and hedgehog (Hh) activity. In this study, we utilized human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based models of the two diseases to understand the roles of Hh signaling in osteogenesis. Gorlin syndrome-derived iPSCs showed increased osteoblastogenesis and mineralization...
