Distinct modes of morphogenetic regulation by primary cilia

Studying complexities in utilization of GLI-effectors point to the tissue-specific regulation of hedgehog pathway repression by primary cilia. Here skeletal stained embryos that are wild-type (top left), conditional knockout for Gpr161 (bottom left), and conditional knockout for Gpr161 and lacking Gli2 (top right) or expressing Gli3 repressor (bottom right) are shown. These embryos depict the distinct modes by which the cilia generated GLI effectors regulate morpho-phenotypic outcomes from lack of hedgehog pathway repression. See Hwang et al.
