Loss of epidermal aPKClambda disrupts epidermal homeostasis and activates hair fol-
licle stem cells resulting in continuous hair follicle growth. Whole mount stainings on tail skin of aPKC
λ
ko mice at P58 showing that hair follicles have an altered shape and are in anagen (growth phase of
the hair cycle), whereas control hair follicles are in telogen (rest phase of the hair follicle) at this time
point (not shown). Keratin 14 (yellow) labeling basal keratinocytes and beta-catenin (red) were stained.
The images were taken on a confocal microsope and are overlay projections. Susanne Vorhagen, Frederik
Tellkamp and Carien M. Niessen.
