Several embryonic organs, such as the hair follicle, develop as appendages of the ectoderm, the outermost layer of the embryo. These organs develop as a result of reciprocal tissue interactions between the surface epithelium and the underlying mesenchyme. The fi rst morphological sign of a developing hair follicle is a thickening of the epithelium called a placode. Several major signaling pathways are important for the development of hair and other ectodermal organs such as Wnts, fi broblast growth factors (Fgfs), Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), Hedgehogs (Hh) and tumor necrosis factors (TNFs). This thesis focuses on the role of TNFs in hair development and more particularly on one member of the TNF superfamily: Ectodysplasin (E...
