Immunohistochemical demonstration of non-muscle myosin in the developing porcine epidermis

Using an immunohistochemical technique, the study demonstrates for the first time non-muscle myosin stress fibres in fetal mammalian epidermis, with special regard to cellular development during integumentary ontogenesis in the sparsely haired domesticated pig. The results obtained are discussed in view of possible cytoskeletal functions of the cytofilaments.
