    BMP Signaling in the Hair Follicle Stem Cell Niche Regulates Hair Growth and Skin Pigmentation

    Jackwee Lim, D. Quek, Ji Tan, Carlos Clavel
    Studysummary This study found that Sox2 and BMP signaling may be key regulators of pigmentation and melanocyte migration, as suggested by experiments in mice, human biopsies, and cell co-cultures.
