Figure 5. — Rescue of skin and hair growth defects in late generation telomerase-reconstituted G3 Terc^+/−* mice upon hair plucking of back skin. (A–D) Quantification of HF length from IFE to dermal papilla (A and B) and of dermis thickness (C and D) in back skin from mice of the indicated genotype. Histomorphometry was performed in five mice of each genotype, quantifying at least 55 follicles in the control groups and at least 87 follicles in the TPA-treated groups. Note the increased HF length and dermis thickness in G3 Terc ^+/−* mice compared with G3 Terc ^−/− littermates after plucking (B and D). Error bars represent SEM. (E) Representative back skin sections from mice of the indicated genotypes before (control) and after (pluck) plucking. Black double-pointed arrows mark dermis thickness. Arrowheads mark HF length from IFE to dermal papilla. Bar, 480 μm.
