|
| Humoral and cellular immune responses against seasonal human coronavirus OC43 and SARS-CoV-2 were assessed in SARS-CoV-2-unexposed children and adults. [Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America] |

|
| The authors studied the contributions of canonical and non-canonical autophagy in the genetically tractable human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived macrophages, using a set of Mycobacterium tuberculosis mutants generated in the same genetic background of the common lab strain H37Rv.

|
|
| Ubiquitin-like protein BMSC-UbP (UBL7)-deficient mice exhibited increased susceptibility to viral infection due to attenuated antiviral innate immunity. UBL7 enhanced innate immune response to viral infection by promoting the K27-linked polyubiquitination of mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS). [Cell Reports] |

|
|
| The authors showed a significant reduction in interferon-β induction and a corresponding increase in viral replication in norovirus-infected cells after deletion of STING, cGAS, or IFI16. [Cell Reports] |

|
| Temsavir prevented shed gp120 from interacting with uninfected bystander CD4+ cells, protecting them from antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity responses and preventing a cytokine burst. [Cell Chemical Biology] |

| The authors provide an update of the latest scientific and clinical evidence on vitamin D and immune response in autoimmune rheumatic diseases and COVID-19, which justify the need for monitoring of serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations and for appropriate supplementation following clinical trial-based approaches.

|
| A study found that of the 6-8m urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by E coli bacteria in the US every year, between 480,000 and 640,000 could be linked to strains known as FZECs, or food-borne zoonotic E coli. [The Guardian] |
