The paper shows that Pdgfab/Pdgfra-mediated chemoattraction guides sclerotome-derived fibroblast precursors to specific locations in zebrafish, where they differentiate into distinct subtypes.

This study shows BMP signaling is necessary and sufficient for sclerotome induction in zebrafish and reveals distinct BMP requirements for lineage diversification.

This study identifies the sclerotome as the embryonic source of multiple fibroblast subtypes in zebrafish and shows how local signals drive their diversification.
