title: The therapeutic potential of modulators of the Hedgehog-Gli signaling pathway.
abstract: The discovery of small molecules that act as agonists and antagonists of the Hedgehog-Gli signaling pathway, which plays important roles in the embryo and adult, opens a new avenue for the treatment of diseases caused by aberrant suppression or activation of this complex pathway.
