Abstract: The secreted protein Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) acts in graded fashion to pattern the dorsal-ventral axis of the vertebrate neural tube. This is a dynamic process in which increasing concentrations and durations of exposure to SHH generate neurons with successively more ventral identities. Interactions between the receiving cells and the graded signal underpin the mechanism of SHH action. In particular, negative feedback, involving proteins transcriptionally induced or repressed by SHH signaling, plays an essential role in shaping the graded readout. On one hand, negative feedback controls, in a noncell-autonomous manner, the distribution of SHH across the field of receiving cells. On the other, it acts cell-autonomously to convert different concentrations of SHH into distinct durations of intracellular signal transduction. Together, these mechanisms exemplify a strategy for morphogen interpretation, which we have termed temporal adaptation that relies on the continuous processing and refinement of the cellular response to the graded signal.

An investigation into the roles of Talpid3 and primary cilia in the developing brain
Andrew Bashford
- 01 May 2015
TL;DR: The mechanistic cause to be the result of widespread loss of primary cilia and a concomitant disruption in the transduction of the Hedgehog signalling pathway and presented the Ta3fl/fl;NesCre mutant mice as a valuable model system to study a rare but clinically relevant condition.

TL;DR: These findings contribute to the understanding of the developmental mechanisms involved in proper formation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and the optic nerve, the two main aspects of the etiology of SOD.

TL;DR: Targeted gene disruption in the mouse shows that the Sonic hedgehog(Shh) gene plays a critical role in patterning of vertebrate embryonic tissues, including the brain and spinal cord, the axial skeleton and the limbs.

TL;DR: These concepts provide a unifying framework within which a wide variety of patterns formed from fields may be discussed, and give new meaning to classical concepts such as induction, dominance and field.

TL;DR: In their screen for mutations that disrupt the Drosophila larval body plan, these authors identified several that cause the duplication of denticles and an accompanying loss of naked cuticle, characteristic of the posterior half of each segment.
Sonic hedgehog, a member of a family of putative signaling molecules, is implicated in the regulation of CNS polarity

TL;DR: Three members of a mouse gene family related to the Drosophila segment polarity gene, hedgehog (hh), are identified and it is suggested that Shh may play a role in the normal inductive interactions that pattern the ventral CNS.
