Enhanced Edar Signalling Has Pleiotropic Effects on Craniofacial and Cutaneous Glands
Figure 3
Sex differences, but not Edar-induced alterations, in tracheal submucosal gland size.
(A–C) Sectioned tracheae stained with Alcian blue and counterstained with nuclear fast red. The cartilage of the trachea and the mucous of the submucosal glands stain blue. Submucosal glands are indicted by red arrowheads in (A), while the cartilages of the trachea are labelled ‘c’. (D) Magnified view of stained wild type tracheal submucosal gland. (E) Quantification of tracheal submucosal gland sizes. Scale bar A–C indicates 200 µm; scale bar D indicates 50 µm.
