Fig. 7: Muzzle histology of Acomys after full-thickness mystacial pad injury.

This is a vertical histological section through the muzzle of an Acomys 24 h after full-thickness mystacial pad injury. The number “1” refers to the nose of the animal in the center. To the left, “2” refers to the injured area (dotted line) with missing tissue on the left side of the muzzle. This injured area should mirror the opposite side, “3”, where an uninjured whisker follicle on the right side of the snout is marked.
