Abstract

Background: Tissue regeneration is a complex process involving a network of ligand-activated pathways. Results: The sulfatase SULF2 modulates cell proliferation and organ growth through a WNT-dependent activation of the transcription factor GLI1. Conclusion: Together, these data define a novel cascade regulating tissue regeneration. Significance: The knowledge derived from this study will contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms modulating regeneration and organogenesis.
