Hedgehog signaling
The Hedgehog signaling pathway is an integral regulator in growth and development of animals. Hedgehog signaling has roles in embryonic development and adults. Disruption of the signaling pathway during gestation can produce severe birth defects. Activation of the pathway can convert adult stem cells to cancer stem cells and activation is thus associated with the development of several cancers, including brain, lung, prostate, and skin cancers.
