PY - 2020 DA - 2020/09/05 TI - Imiquimod does not elicit inflammatory responses in the skin of the naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) JO - BMC Research Notes SP - 416 VL - 13 IS - 1 AB - Naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) has recently attracted interest in biomedical research due to its exceptional longevity, cancer resistance and tolerance to potentially harmful conditions or stimuli. Given its unique attributes, this study was designed to characterize inflammatory skin reactions of this animal to topical application of imiquimod, a toll-like receptor 7 and 8 agonist that triggers psoriasis-like skin reaction.
