GlossaryHedgehog Pathway Inhibitors (Hedgehog signaling inhibitors)

drugs that block cell growth signals to treat cancer

Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitors are drugs that block the Hedgehog signaling pathway, which is crucial for cell growth and differentiation during embryonic development. In adults, abnormal activation of this pathway can lead to cancers such as basal cell carcinoma. By inhibiting this pathway, these drugs can help treat certain types of cancer by preventing the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.
