TLDR The Foxn1(-/-) phenotype disrupts hair growth and affects skin stem cells.
The study investigated the impact of the Foxn1(-/-) nude phenotype on hair cycling and epithelial progeny, revealing a significant upregulation of Lhx2, crucial for hair cycle progression. Despite this, there was a frustrated expansion of epithelial stem cell niches, indicated by erratic CyclinD1 levels and shifts in keratinocyte differentiation markers. CD49f/CD34/CD200 profiling showed significant changes in epithelial subpopulations, including an expansion of Oct4+ stem cells in dermal fractions. These findings suggested that the Foxn1(-/-) phenotype significantly affected epithelial progeny, providing a valuable model for studying stem cell niche regulation in the skin.
