Mechanochemical control of epidermal stem cell divisions by B-plexins

It is unclear how epithelial tissues adjust cell division rates to cell density. Here, the authors show that Plexin-B1 and Plexin-B2 sense mechanical compression (crowding) of epidermal stem cells, resulting in inactivation of YAP and suppression of cell proliferation.
