FGF signalling controls the specification of hair placode-derived SOX9 positive progenitors to Merkel cells
Merkel cells are mechanoreceptors located in the epidermis whose developmental origin is unclear. Here the authors show that Merkel cells originate from SOX9 positive cells inside hair follicles and that FGFR2-mediated epithelial signalling is required for their specification.
