Analysis of Hair Follicles in Mutant Laboratory Mice
TLDR Understanding normal hair follicle development helps analyze abnormalities in mutant mice.
The document discussed the complexity of hair follicles, also known as pilosebaceous units, and emphasized the importance of understanding normal developmental and cyclical changes to effectively analyze abnormalities. It provided various systematic approaches for analyzing these structures in mutant laboratory mice.
