Our collaborative work on Smoothened-activating cilia oxysterols was published in Molecular Cell!

This work reported cilia-associated oxysterols can activate Hedgehog signaling through Smoothened and inhibition of the formation of such oxysterols can impede Hedgehog pathway activation. This is a multi-institutional collaboration led by David Raleigh and Jeremy Reiter at UCSF. Good job by Kelly on the oxysterol analysis in this work!
