Abstract
Sox family transcription factors have emerged as key regulators of multiple developmental processes, including fate determination and differentiation in multiple tissues. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Nowak et al. (2008) implicate Sox9 in the specification of early hair follicle stem cells and subsequent epithelial lineages.
