Establishing thresholds for cytokine storm and defining their relationship to disease severity in respiratory viral infections

A. Souquette, J. C. Crawford, J. Wolf, A. Blair, M. Agrawal, L. Boywid, K. McNair, N. D. Hysmith, C. Hundman, A. Bahadoran, S. R. Arnold, SJTRC Study Team, H. Smallwood, A. Green, P. G. Thomas

This study identifies cytokine thresholds and their relationship to disease severity in respiratory viral infections, showing that hypercytokinemia is not strongly linked to severity and that certain cytokines may predict long COVID risk.

A Distinct Contractile Injection System Found in a Majority of Adult Human Microbiomes

M. I. Rojas, G. S. Cavalcanti, K. McNair, S. Benler, A. T. Alker, A. G. Cobian-Guemes, M. Giluso, K. Levi, F. Rohwer, S. Beyhan, R. Edwards, N. J. Shikuma

The paper identifies a widespread Contractile Injection System in adult human microbiomes, suggesting it mediates interactions between Bacteroidales bacteria and the host or microbiome.
