September 2023 in “PLoS biology” This study found that mesenchymal cells in mouse and chicken embryonic skin undergo a process of migration driven by tissue tension and WNT secretion, influencing their dispersal and integration into dermal condensates.
January 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, researchers observed that after mesenchymal cell division in mouse and chicken embryonic skin, elevated migration speed and persistence for 180 minutes contribute to mesenchymal dispersal and preferential recruitment to dermal condensates.
