Towards defining the pathogenesis of the hairless phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation of the hairless (hr) gene in mice causes severe abnormalities during the first hair follicle regression (catagen), resulting in complete baldness. Here, we further characterize how hairlessness develops in HRS/J hairless mouse skin (hr) by histology, histochemistry, immunohistology, and in situ hybridization. We show that, in hr skin, only two defined epithelial cell populations in the distal outer root...
