|
integument
• loss of sebaceous glands in embryo-deleted follicles
|
• regions of bald skin (where Cre was expressed in E9.5 developing follicles) alternating with hair (where Cre was expressed at P1 in follicle cells), however this hair was progressively lost as mice age
|
• embryo-deleted follicles contain a melanin-producing core with large, loosely packed cells replacing the inner root sheath
|
• by P25, P1-deleted follicles are degenerating instead of being in telogen
