LGR5-positive fibroblasts orchestrate skin mechanoadaptation through JAK1 modulation

Mechanical adaptation is a fundamental yet poorly understood process in stromal tissue biology. Here, we identify a population of LGR5+ mechanically induced regulatory fibroblasts (LGR5+ MIRFs) in mouse and human dermis, whose induction requires a YAP/AP-1-dependent transcriptional program. LGR5+ MIRFs channel mechanic...
