In vivo sonic hedgehog pathway antagonism temporarily results in ancestral proto-feather-like structures in the chicken.

The morphological intricacies of avian feathers make them an ideal model for investigating embryonic patterning and morphogenesis. In particular, the sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway is an important mediator of feather outgrowth and branching. However, functional in vivo evidence regarding its role duri...
