Abstract

Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (Ace2) is widely distributed in human organs, which was identified as a functional receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus in human beings. It was also confirmed that SARS-CoV-2 uses the same cell entry receptor, ACE2, as SARS-CoV. However, related research still not discover the expression data associated with murine skin under single cell RNA resolution. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on unsorted cells from mouse dorsal skin after 7 days post-wounding. 8312 sequenced cells from four skin samples met quality control metrics and were analyzed.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding.
