Abstract

Nerves are necessary for proper tissue repair and complex regeneration. Now in Cell Stem Cell, Carr et al. (2019) identify a specific population of mesenchymal cells that reside within nerves and represent a reservoir of precursors that expand in number and differentiate into bone and dermis during tissue regeneration and repair.
