Anabolic sensitivity in healthy, lean, older men is associated with higher expression of amino acid sensors and mTORC1 activators

This study shows that lean, healthy older men maintain anabolic sensitivity to amino acids and exercise, with increased mTORC1 signaling and muscle protein synthesis, suggesting aging alone does not cause anabolic resistance.

Longitudinal characterization of humoral and cellular immunity in hospitalized COVID-19 patients reveal immune persistence up to 9 months after infection

This study tracks immune responses in hospitalized COVID-19 patients up to 9 months post-infection, showing persistent neutralizing antibodies and memory B and T cells.

Robust T cell immunity in convalescent individuals with asymptomatic or mild COVID-19

The paper maps SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses in individuals with asymptomatic/mild COVID-19 and finds robust memory T cell responses similar to vaccines, detectable even in antibody-seronegative individuals.
