integument
• impaired skin barrier function from E16.25-E19
|
• hair follicle growth arrested at E18.5
|
• abnormalities start to appear around E17.5
|
• increased number of proliferative cells in the basal layer of the epidermis
|
• little development of the cornified layers at E17.5
• cornified layers significantly reduced at E18.5
• cornified layers are reduced and difficult to distinguish by light microscopy
• intact nuclei found under the stratum corneum
|
• cornified envelope is fragile and irregular in morphology at E18.5
|
• granular layer of the skin lacks keratohyalin granules
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• impaired skin barrier function from E16.25-E19
