Although several key cell populations and molecular pathways implicated in corneal wound healing have already been thoroughly investigated, insufficient\/impaired or excessive corneal wound healing remains a major clinical issue in ophthalmology, and new avenues of research are still needed to further improve corneal wound healing. Because of its implication in numerous cellular\/tissular homeostatic processes and oxidative stress, there is growing evidence of the role of Hedgehog signaling pathway in physiological and pathological corneal wound healing. Reviewing current scientific evidence, Hedgehog signaling and its effectors participate in corneal wound healing mainly at the level of the corneal and limbal epithelium, where Sonic Hedgehog-mediated signaling promotes limbal stem cell proliferation and corneal epithelial cell proliferation and migration following corneal injury. Hedgehog signaling could also participate in corneal epithelial barrier homeostasis and in pathological corneal healing such as corneal injury-related neovascularization. By gaining a better understanding of the role of this double-edged sword in physiological and pathological corneal wound healing, fascinating new research avenues and therapeutic strategies will undoubtedly emerge.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms23073630","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,27]],"date-time":"2022-03-27T21:27:51Z","timestamp":1648416471000},"page":"3630","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Shhedding New Light on the Role of Hedgehog Signaling in Corneal Wound Healing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Xin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, INSERM, Institut de la Vision, Sorbonne Universit\u00e9, 17 Rue Moreau, F-75012 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2029-9591","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"St\u00e9phane","family":"M\u00e9lik-Parsadaniantz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, INSERM, Institut de la Vision, Sorbonne Universit\u00e9, 17 Rue Moreau, F-75012 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1743-6698","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christophe","family":"Baudouin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, INSERM, Institut de la Vision, Sorbonne Universit\u00e9, 17 Rue Moreau, F-75012 Paris, France"},{"name":"CHNO des Quinze-Vingts, INSERM-DGOS CIC 1423, 28 Rue de Charenton, F-75012 Paris, France"},{"name":"Department of Ophtalmology, Ambroise Par\u00e9 Hospital, AP-HP, 9 Avenue Charles de Gaulle, F-92100 Boulogne-Billancourt, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3855-9523","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annabelle","family":"R\u00e9aux-Le Goazigo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, INSERM, Institut de la Vision, Sorbonne Universit\u00e9, 17 Rue Moreau, F-75012 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2725-5292","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathan","family":"Moreau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, INSERM, Institut de la Vision, Sorbonne Universit\u00e9, 17 Rue Moreau, F-75012 Paris, France"},{"name":"Laboratory of Orofacial Neurobiology, EA 7543, Universit\u00e9 de Paris, 5 Rue Garanci\u00e8re, F-75006 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"290","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtos.2020.10.006","article-title":"Corneal stromal wound healing: Major regulators and therapeutic targets","volume":"19","author":"Kamil","year":"2021","journal-title":"Ocul.
