Likewise, Notch has been implicated in hair well as that of other organs (for reviews see Oro and Scott, 1998; placode development (Powell et al, 1998). Recent studies showed Barsh, 1999). From histologic observations, it was proposed that that conditional deletion of the b-catenin gene from the epidermis hair follicle formation is initiated when underlying mesenchymal resulted in defects in the formation of the hair placode (Huelsken cells trigger commitment of the overlying epidermis to form the et al, 2001). Moreover, mice lacking the LEF-1 gene displayed placodes (Hardy, 1992; Oro and Scott, 1998).

In brief, skin specimens were prepared from the and found to be allelic to the tabby (Ta) locus (Srivastava et al, dorsal coat of E13±13.5 embryos and spread epidermal side up onto a 1997).
