Impact of laminitis on the canonical Wnt signaling pathway in basal epithelial cells of the equine digital laminae.
The digital laminae is a two layer tissue that attaches the distal phalanx to the inner hoof wall, thus suspending the horse's axial skeleton in the hoof capsule. This tissue fails at the epidermal:dermal junction in laminitic horses, causing crippling disease. Basal epithelial cells line the l...
