The Relationship Between Sexually Dimorphic Peripheral Nerves and Diseases

The role of the desert hedgehog signaling pathway during degeneration and regeneration of peripheral nerves

The desert hedgehog (Dhh) signaling pathway is involved in the development of peripheral nerves (PNs). Dhh-null mice show abnormal neuronal development and perineurial barrier function. As it was previously shown that dhh is mainly expressed in developmental nerves and Sonic hedgehog protein (dhh homologous) has therapeutic effects in neuronal survival, we attempted to investigate the possible ...
