This study found that ectopic expression of Whn in transgenic mice caused impaired differentiation in epidermis and hair follicles, with hair growth defects and severe urinary tract issues leading to hydronephrosis.
April 2010 in “The journal of immunology/The Journal of immunology”
This study found that deleting the FoxN1 gene in mice disrupted the 3D thymic epithelial structure and led to 2D epithelial cysts, revealing its crucial role in thymus organization but not causing athymia.
