Abstract
1. Hard x-rays prevent the formation of pigment in the hair follicles of mice, with result that hair previously black comes in white. 2. Exposure of the ventral side of a mouse to the x-rays causes the hair on the back to come in white about 40 to 50 days after it has whitened the hairs on the abdomen.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
