Hedgehog signaling plays a critical role in bone growth by regulating chondrocyte differentiation and proliferation in growth plates. Manipulating this pathway could potentially be used to enhance bone lengthening. This could involve gene therapy or the use of molecules to enhance Hedgehog signaling activity. However, this is theoretical and just likein my other threads, this concept is theoretical and research needs to be done. Possible cancer growth and abnormal bone growth is a risk
