Studies in Drosophila have provided the framework for understanding human development and disease processes governed by the Hedgehog (Hh) family of secreted signaling molecules. The Drosophila proteins that participate in Hh-mediated signal transduction are highlighted in a Connections Map pathway.

In vertebrate Hedgehog (Hh) signaling, the precise output of the final effectors, GLI (glioma-associated oncogene) transcription factors, depends on the primary cilium. Upon pathway initiation, generating the precise levels of the activator form of GLI depends on its concentration at the cilium tip. The mechanisms underlying this critical step in Hh signaling are unclear.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant tumor in white populations. Multiple studies demonstrated that the aberrant activation of Hedgehog signaling is a driver of BCC development, and its blockade represents a potential therapeutic target. In Italy, clinicians can prescribe Hedgehog inhibitors (HhIs) vismodegib and sonidegib.

The development of standard drugs for some unusual cancers, including estrogen-nonresponsive breast cancer, is somewhat difficult within a very short time. So, considering the current situation, phytoestrogen may be a potential candidate for unraveling chemotherapeutics agents. The reason for this review article is to manifest overall information regarding the effects of phytoestrogen on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), along with its related cellular and molecular pathways in different TNBC models.

The penile tubular urethra forms by canalization of the urethral plate without forming an obvious urethral groove in mice, while the urethral epithelium forms a fully open urethral groove before urethra closure through the distal-opening-proximal-closing process in humans and guinea pigs. Our knowledge of the mechanism of penile development is mainly based on studies in mice. To reveal how the fully opened urethral groove forms in humans and guinea pigs, we compared the expression patterns and levels of key developmental genes using in situ hybridization and quantitative PCR during glans and preputial development between guinea pigs and mice.
