Skin and non-adhesive cells on the skin’s surface found to play pivotal role in the formation of fingers and toes

Human fingers are sculpted from a primitive pad-like structure during embryonic development. Sometimes, this process goes awry and babies are born with fused fingers or toes. A new study from the University of California, Irvine reveals new factors involved in the congenital malformation called syndactyly.
