Estradiol Triggers Sonic-hedgehog–induced Angiogenesis During Peripheral Nerve Regeneration by Downregulating Hedgehog-interacting Protein
Both estradiol (E2) and Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) contribute to angiogenesis and nerve regeneration. Here, we investigated whether E2 improves the recovery of injured nerves by downregulating the Shh-inhibitor Hedgehog-interacting Protein (HIP) and increasing Shh-induced angiogenesis. Mice were treated w...
