January 2019 in “Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications” This study suggests that Sox13, although dispensable for epidermal development, serves as a marker for early hair follicle development in Sox13-LacZ knock-in mice.
August 2024 in “Journal of the Egyptian Womenʼs Dermatologic Society” In this observational study, SOX10 was expressed in 53 out of 81 examined hair follicles in patients with alopecia areata and showed a significant positive relation with the perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate, suggesting that melanocytes may play a role in the disease's autoimmune pathogenesis.
