Exciting Study by SDRC Member Phil Beachy Uncovers How Hedgehog Signaling Protects Pancreatic Islets

Written By Diana L Sung

New research reveals Desert hedgehog signaling (Dhh) from neuroendocrine cells drives epithelial-mesenchymal feedback (EMF) signaling, protecting tissues like airways and pancreatic islets from injury, with implications for therapeutic strategies in airway damage and diabetes.
