The fate of progenitor skin cells - to ultimately become either hair follicles or sweat glands - is governed by competing signals. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Dec. 23 2016, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by C.P. Lu at The Rockefeller University in New York, NY, and colleagues was titled, "Spatiotemporal antagonism in mesenchymal-epithelial signaling in sweat versus hair fate decision."
