Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the biological role of Stat3 in the skin, conditional gene targeting using the Cre-loxP system was performed as germline Stat3 ablation leads to embryonic lethality. K5-Cre;Stat3(flox/-) transgenic mice, whose epidermal and follicular keratinocytes lack functional Stat3, were viable...
