This study observed that hairless HRS/J mice were resistant to Bacillus anthracis infection at the skin's surface, suggesting resistance may be due to increased dermal neutrophils rather than non-functional hair follicles.

In this study, researchers observed that epidermal damage may increase susceptibility to Bacillus anthracis infection, allowing it access through hair follicles and the denuded dermis in mice.

This study found that in mice, Bacillus anthracis infections destroy hair follicles by progressing inward from the surface and clear when inflammatory cells disperse the bacteria after 3-4 days.

This study found that facial sun damage scores from UV photography correlate with skin cancer and melanoma risk factors, suggesting this technology may help identify individuals at higher risk.

The researchers reported that SOX4 expression is significantly upregulated in melanoma and its knockdown in cell lines resulted in reduced tumor progression, suggesting potential for targeted therapies.
