Abstract
The Hedgehog pathway was recently shown to antagonise constitutive activity of the Wnt pathway that drives proliferation of colorectal cancer cells. Studies in this issue of Gut refine our understanding of the underlying mechanism and provide evidence for such antagonism in colorectal cancers in vivoKeywords
