Hill et al. claimed in previous work that sonic hedgehog signalling pathway is an essential regulator of astrocytes development. We present here a formalization of that claim, stating that all things of class “smoothened signaling pathway” that are in the context of a thing of class “human” mostly have a relation of type “affects” to a thing of class “astrocyte development” in the same context.
Hill et al. [2] state that “Shh signaling and emerging data point to essential roles for this pleiotropic signaling pathway in regulating various functional properties of astrocytes.”. We present here a formalization of the main scientific claim from this quote by using a semantic template called the super-pattern [1].
In the context class we use the “human” (Q5) class from Wikipedia. In subject class, we use the “smoothened signaling pathway” (GO:0007224) from GeneOntology. In the object class we used the “astrocyte development” (GO:0014002) class from GeneOntology.
