|
respiratory system
• a lower complexity of lung parenchyma in new born mutant mice resulting in very thin and smooth alveolar walls lacking any outgrowth of secondary septa
|
integument
• no hairs emerged from the dorsal skin around P5
• by P10, short hair tips appeared but did not develop into fur
• normal number of hair follicles are present
|
• most hair shafts were bent and did not reach the epidermis
• hair shaft showed multiple fractures and were twisted
• the hair shaft was often composed of discontinuous conglomerates of horny material at P1
|
• high level of apoptosis in the hair cuticle
|
