Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) is an important molecule required for the transition from anagen to catagen phase of the mammalian hair cycle. We previously reported that Syrian hamsters harboring a 1-bp deletion in the Fgf5 gene exhibit excessive hair growth in males. Herein, we generated Fgf5 mutant mice using genome editing via oviductal nucleic acid delivery (GONAD)/improved GONAD (i-GONAD), an in vivo...
