Eradicating hedgehogs: The title molecule has been previously identified as a potent inhibitor of the Hedgehogsignaling pathway, which gives embryonic cells information needed to develop properly. This molecule is shown to modulate Hedgehog target gene expression by depolymerizing microtubules, thus revealing dualroles of the cytoskeleton in pathway regulation (see figure).
