title: Shifted from Wnt to Hedgehog signaling pathways.
abstract: Two papers in recent issue of Developmental Cell (Glise et al. 2005; Gorfinkiel et al. 2005) have shown that Shifted, a Drosophila ortholog of Wnt Inhibitory Factor (WIF), modulates the distribution of Hedgehog protein in the wing imaginal disc through a Wnt-independent mechanism.
