Abstract
The adult lung is largely quiescent, with airway epithelia turning over slowly. Peng et al. (2015) describe a key role for the Hedgehog pathway in actively maintaining this quiescence, a surprising turn of events given the pathway's established mitogenic role, and they show that Hedgehog pathway attenuation is required for proliferative regeneration.Entities:
