Abstract
Since the end of 2019, COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 emerged globally. The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on the cell surface is crucial for SARS-COV-2 entering into the cells. We use SARS-COV-2 pseudo virus and humanized ACE2 mice to mimic the possible transmitting of SARS-COV-2 through skin based on the data we found that skin ACE2 level is associated with skin pre-existing cutaneous conditions in human and mouse models and inflammatory skin disorders with barrier dysfunction increased the penetration of topical FITC conjugated spike protein into the skin. Our study indicated the possibility that the pre-existing cutaneous conditions could increase the risk for SARS-COV-2 infection.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: An explicit section about the limitations of the techniques employed in this study was not found. We encourage authors to address study limitations.Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).
Results from JetFighter: Please consider improving the rainbow (“jet”) colormap(s) used on page 4. At least one figure is not accessible to readers with colorblindness and/or is not true to the data, i.e. not perceptually uniform.
