Skt/Etl4 deletion mice display defects in caudal IVDs. a Skeletal preparation of tails from 4-week old homozygous SktΔEx1-20 mice. b Haematoxylin-Eosin (HE) stained sagittal sections of tails from the lower caudal region of 3-week old wt (a-b) and two homozygous SktΔEx1-20 2 mice (c-f). Black arrowheads in (c and c‘, d and d‘) point to shifted, in (f and f‘) to absent NP. a‘-f‘show higher magnifications of the regions marked in (a-f). c HE stained frontal sections of the vertebral column from the sacral and upper caudal region of 3-week old wt (a-b) and homozygous SktΔEx1-20 (c-d) mice. (a‘-d) ‘show higher magnifications of regions marked in (a-d)
