This study shows that certain antibodies promote syncytia formation between immune cells and infected lung cells, driving inflammation in severe COVID-19.

This study shows that increased microbial exposure in adult mice worsens allergic airway inflammation, while early exposure does not have the same effect.

The paper uses CRISPRa screening and real-world data to identify KCNA6 as a neuronal entry factor for SARS-CoV-2 and shows dalfampridine can suppress viral entry.

The paper identifies blood cell traits associated with the 3p21.31 genetic locus linked to severe COVID-19 and shows their connection to candidate gene expression.

The paper shows that ITK negatively regulates CD8+ T cell homeostatic proliferation, metabolism, and anti-tumor effector function through mTOR, challenging the notion that stronger TCR signals always enhance these processes.
