The disruption of Sox21-mediated hair shaft cuticle differentiation causes cyclic alopecia in mice
26 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Hair is maintained through a cyclic process that includes periodic regeneration of hair follicles in a stem cell-dependent manner. Little is known, however, about the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate the layered differentiation of the hair follicle. We have established a mutant mouse with a cyclic alopecia phenotype resulting from the targeted disruption of Sox21, a gene that encodes a HMG-box...
