title: Dynamic networking for epidermal differentiation.
abstract: In this issue of Developmental Cell, Lopez-Pajares et al. (2015) identify regulatory networks that are controlled by the transcriptional regulators MAF:MAFB. These networks play a crucial and previously unrecognized role in epidermal differentiation, functioning both to repress progenitor genes and to activate early and late differentiation genes.
