Marker genes
CRABP1, FIBIN, LIMCH1, LIX1, MED4, MEOX2, PLPP5, RERG, SLITRK6, SPARCL1, SSBP2
Annotation genes
CRABP1, FIBIN, MEOX2, SLITRK6, SPARCL1
Annotation rationales
SPARCL1 provides anti-adhesive matrix common in neurovascular niches; SLITRK6 supports axon guidance; MEOX2/FIBIN mark developmental mesenchyme guiding vessel patterning; CRABP1 tunes retinoid flux impacting epidermal/follicle differentiation.
Functional implications
Aligns microvessels and nerves around follicles, sets permissive/repulsive ECM for axon termini, and modulates retinoid signals to coordinate sheath–epidermis maturation and sensation.
