Glossary Indian Hedgehog

signaling protein crucial for hair follicle development and cycling

Indian Hedgehog (Ihh) is a signaling protein that plays a crucial role in the regulation of embryonic development, including the formation of hair follicles. It is part of the Hedgehog signaling pathway, which is essential for cell differentiation and tissue patterning. In the context of hair biology, Ihh influences the growth and cycling of hair follicles, and disruptions in this pathway can lead to conditions like alopecia.

research An in vivo comparative study of sonic, desert and Indian hedgehog reveals that hedgehog pathway activity regulates epidermal stem cell homeostasis

99 citations , September 2004 in “Development”

This study suggests that deregulation of sonic and desert hedgehog signaling in mouse skin can lead to altered epidermal stem cell activity and lesions similar to human basal cell carcinoma, indicating these cancers may originate outside the stem cell population.

research Indian Hedgehog Controls Proliferation and Differentiation in Skin Tumorigenesis and Protects against Malignant Progression

15 citations , July 2013 in “Cell Reports”

This study reported that Indian hedgehog (Ihh) signaling plays a crucial role in regulating tumor progression and metastasis in epithelial cancers, with Ihh deficiency leading to increased malignancy and metastasis in mice.

research The effects of sonic, desert and Indian hedgehog signalling in skin

January 2003

This study found that Shh and Dhh overexpression in mouse basal cells led to similar epidermal and limb phenotypes, suggesting Dhh functions similarly to Shh in skin, unlike Ihh.

research Developmental signals in skin morphogenesis

September 2004 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This paper reviews recent findings on epidermal development and stem cell regulation, listing key studies that contribute to understanding the molecular pathways involved in skin morphogenesis without reporting new experimental results.

research Modulation of Hair Growth with Small Molecule Agonists of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway

113 citations , September 2005 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that a topical hedgehog agonist can stimulate hair growth by promoting the transition from the resting to growth phase of the hair cycle in adult mouse skin.

What is the cost of a hair transplant in India? Hair transplant costs in India range from ₹20,000 to ₹5,00,000 based on various factors.
Which city in India is best for a hair transplant? No city is reliably "best". The surgeon's training and who actually performs each step matter more than the location.
How much do hair grafts cost in India? Clinics in India commonly quote INR 25 to 120 per graft, so totals vary widely. Very low prices can mean technicians rather than doctors do the surgery.
