title: Hedgehog signalling: off the shelf modulation.
abstract: Many cell signalling pathways are modulated in important ways by general cellular machineries, such as those mediating protein degradation and translocation. Two recent studies have revealed roles for such mechanisms in the Hedgehog signalling pathway in Drosophila.
