Embryonic maturation of epidermal Merkel cells is controlled by a redundant transcription factor network

Merkel cell–neurite complexes are located in touch-sensitive areas of the mammalian skin and are involved in recognition of the texture and shape of objects. Merkel cells are essential for these tactile discriminations, as they generate action potentials in response to touch stimuli and induce the f...
