Aging and viral evolution impair immunity against dominant pan-coronavirus-reactive T cell epitope

Lucie Loyal, Karsten Jürchott, Ulf Reimer, Lil Meyer‐Arndt, Larissa Henze, Norbert Mages, Jak Kostrzanowski, Bernhard Reus, Maike Mangold, Beate Kruse, Manuela Dingeldey, Birgit Sawitzki, Janine Michel, Marica Grossegesse, Karsten Schnatbaum, , Andreas Thiel

The paper investigates how aging and viral mutations affect pan-coronavirus immunity, finding reduced T cell responses in older individuals and mutation-driven impact on humoral immunity.

Integrated analysis of Xist upregulation and gene silencing at the onset of random X-chromosome inactivation at high temporal and allelic resolution

Guido Pacini, Ilona Dunkel, Norbert Mages, Verena Mutzel, Bernd Timmermann, Annalisa Marsico, Edda G. Schulz

The paper uses allele-specific single-cell RNA-sequencing to study Xist upregulation and gene silencing during X-chromosome inactivation in mouse embryonic stem cells, identifying Nanog downregulation as a trigger and genetic variation's role in XCI.
