    Epidermal β-Catenin Activation Remodels the Dermis via Paracrine Signaling to Distinct Fibroblast Lineages

    February 2016 in “ Nature Communications ”
    Beate M. Lichtenberger, Maria Mastrogiannaki, Fiona M. Watt
    Studysummary The authors concluded that the dermal response to epidermal Wnt/β-catenin signaling depends on distinct fibroblast lineages, with each responding to different paracrine signals such as Hedgehog and TGF-β.
