title: Vive la science! Vive le hérisson!
abstract: The EMBO workshop 'Hedgehog Signalling: from Developmental Biology to Anti-cancer Drugs' took place between 27 and 31 March on the beautiful Côte d'Azur. The gathered scientists tackled topics ranging from the mechanisms by which Hedgehog (Hh) is presented to receptive cells, to the distribution of Hh by Glypicans, to the role of cilia in vertebrate Hh signal transduction, and to the function of Hh signals in cancer.
