    TLDR Sonic hedgehog signaling helps heal pressure ulcers by improving blood vessel growth.
    The study demonstrates that Sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling enhances the angiogenic properties of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), thereby improving the healing of pressure ulcers through the PI3K/AKT/eNOS signaling pathway. This suggests that SHH signaling could be a potential target for treating pressure ulcers.
