Abstract

1. Define spatial and temporal relationships of cell proliferation and differentiation in the hair follicle during its growth cycle to the patterns of gap junctional intercellular communications (GJIC) and expression of cadherin and connexin proteins. 2. Test the effects of inhibitors of GJIC and gap junction assembly in the hair follicle. 3. Test the effect of androgens on gap junctions in the human hair follicle.
