Description:
Contraction of basal filopodia controls periodic feather branching via Notch and FGF signaling Contraction of basal filopodia controls periodic feather branching via Notch and FGF signaling, Published online: 09 April 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-03801-z Keratinocytes are organised into a periodic pattern in feather branching, but how this is regulated is unclear. Here, the authors show that there is a coordinated change in cell shape and adherence, mediated by Notch, FGF signalling and Rho GTPases, which in turn regulates feather branching.
