  3. 2. Gene expression and mechanical properties regulating two phenotypes of horse’s skin appendages: hoof strength and hair structure

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Asmaa Alameddine; [2022]
    Keywords : horse; hair; hoof quality; RNA-seq; gene expression; mechanical properties; barefoot racing;

    Abstract : Background: The hair follicle and hoof are two parts of the horse’s skin appendages that emerge from the dermis and epidermis. Different phenotypes characterize these two integument structures and determine their quality. In this project, we were interested in studying two phenotypes, the strength of the hoof and two types of horse hairs. READ MORE

  4. 3. Engineering Vascularized Skin Tissue in a 3D format supported by Recombinant Spider Silk
