Abstract

The growth of postembryonic mouse hair has been studied in tissue culture using rat-tail collagen gel as a substrate. Continued development and growth of follicles from both newborn and 3- to 4-day-old mice is stimulated only when a tryptic digest of early mouse embryos is incorporated in the culture medium.
