Defining Key Genes Regulating Morphogenesis of Apocrine Sweat Gland in Sheepskin

Abstract excerpt

Apocrine sweat gland is a unique skin appendage in humans comparing with mouse and chicken models. The absence of apocrine sweat glands in chicken and murine skin largely restrains further understanding of the complexity of human skin biology and skin diseases, like hircismus. Sheep may serve as an additional system for skin appendage investigation owing to the distributions and histological similarities of...
