Mode of Action of Mouse Epidermal Growth Factor on the Wool Follicles of Merino Sheep: An Ultrastructural Study

    October 1989 in “ Australian Journal of Agricultural Research ”
    DE Hollis, RE Chapman
    Studysummary This study found that infused mouse epidermal growth factor induced wool follicle involution through a quasi-physiological process similar to catagen and a separate pathological action, resulting in fleece 'break' or shedding.
