      Hierarchical Patterning Modes Orchestrate Hair Follicle Morphogenesis

      research Hierarchical patterning modes orchestrate hair follicle morphogenesis

      149 citations , July 2017 in “PLoS Biology”
      This study found that hair follicle patterning in development may arise from a combination of epidermal prepattern signals and mesenchymal self-organisation, with fibroblast growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein activities playing key roles.

      This article discusses the development of skin patterns during embryogenesis and postnatal life, linking them to genetic, environmental, and mathematical factors, but presents no new empirical findings.
      BMP2 And BMP7 Play Antagonistic Roles In Feather Induction

      research BMP2 and BMP7 play antagonistic roles in feather induction

      88 citations , July 2008 in “Development”
      This study shows that BMP2 and BMP7 play complex, necessary roles in feather development by regulating dermal condensation formation, with BMP7 acting early as a chemoattractant and BMP2 halting cell migration.
