The developmental basis of fingerprint pattern formation and variation

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: James D. Glover from the Roslin Institute University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh , RG, UK have published the article: The developmental basis of fingerprint pattern formation and variation, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors show fingerprint ridges are epithelial structures undergo a truncated hair follicle developmental program and fail to recruit a mesenchymal condensate. The authors focused on the basal epithelial keratinocytes and mesenchymal fibroblasts as cell types that define tissue structure and ridge formation. The authors report that fingerprint ridges are epithelial appendages, structurally and molecularly resembling HF and tooth primordia though lacking their . . .
