Abstract

Mok et al. identify niche precursors during progenitor and niche formation in mouse embryonic hair follicles. Population-based and single-cell transcriptomics show that unclustered dermal condensate precursors are at a transitional fibroblast-to-DC state marked by successive waves of transcription factor and signaling molecule expression. Niche fate acquisition is not “pre-programmed” and requires placode progenitor-derived FGF20.
