Durability and diversity of human upper airway T cell memory

This study longitudinally tracks antigen-specific T cells in human upper airway tissues and blood, finding sustained memory T cell populations over 18 months.

Co-evolved Partners of Immunity: A Trait-Based Map of Human Keystone Organisms

The paper identifies keystone organisms by analyzing immunological traits and clinical emergence patterns, finding herpesviruses and Mycobacterium tuberculosis as key pathogens with broad niche and immune breadth.

Identification of immunogenic and cross-reactive chikungunya virus-specific CD4+ T cell epitopes in chronic chikungunya viral arthritic disease in humans

This study identifies CD4+ T cell epitopes in chronic chikungunya virus disease, revealing conserved epitopes across alphaviruses and providing tools for T cell response analysis.

Mucosal gene expression in response to SARS-CoV-2 is associated with early viral load.

This study links early SARS-CoV-2 viral load in nasal samples to mucosal gene expression patterns associated with immune signaling and response in symptomatic adults.

Genome-wide study identifies association between HLA-B*55:01 and penicillin allergy

The paper identifies HLA-B*55:01 as a genetic risk factor for penicillin allergy through genome-wide analysis of electronic health records and imputed HLA data.
