The paper develops a murine model of in utero Ebola virus transmission and shows placental infection and fetal transmission occur within 2-3 days post-infection.

The paper identifies a heterozygous KRT32 variant causing autosomal dominant loose anagen hair syndrome and shows it reduces binding affinity to KRT82, impairing hair shaft anchoring.

This study investigates how Ebola virus infects and accumulates in skin tissues of infected animals, identifying TIM-1 as a critical host receptor for viral dissemination.

This study identifies dermal cell types that support Ebola virus infection and shows how the virus traffics to the skin surface.
