Maintenance of Taste Organs Is Strictly Dependent on Epithelial Hedgehog/GLI Signaling.

For homeostasis, lingual taste papilla organs require regulation of epithelial cell survival and renewal, with sustained innervation and stromal interactions. To investigate a role for Hedgehog/GLI signaling in adult taste organs we used a panel of conditional mouse models to manipulate GLI activity...
