| Researchers showed that in this large national cohort comprising two years’ active surveillance over four SARS-CoV-2 variant periods and with near complete follow-up of pregnancy outcomes for 16,627 included women, severe perinatal outcomes were more common in women with moderate to severe COVID-19, during the delta dominant period and among unvaccinated women.

|
| The authors established vascular immune organoids from human pluripotent stem cells and examined the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection. [Scientific Reports] |

| Investigators longitudinally analyzed immune responses in healthy adults after two-dose vaccination with either a virus-like particle COVID-19 vaccine (CoVLP), CoVLP adjuvanted with AS03, or a messenger RNA vaccination. [Science Immunology] |

| In a secondary analysis of the SHINE trial in rural Zimbabwe researchers explored biological pathways underlying infant mortality, and maternal factors shaping immune development in HIV-exposed uninfected infants. [Nature Communications] |

|
| Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus mutants containing a complete nsp2 deletion was entirely avirulent in vivo, with significantly increased productions of interferon beta and IFN-stimulated genes in various intestinal tissues of challenged newborn piglets. [Autophagy] |

|
| Investigators demonstrated that Pla2g2e-/- mice had significantly lower survival rates and higher viral loads in lungs compared to wild-type mice following influenza virus infection. [Journal Of Virology] |

|
| To assess the role of route and age at infection in modeling human cytomegalovirus in mice, scientists infected prepubescent and young sexually mature C57BL/6 mice intranasally, a likely physiological route in humans) and intraperitoneally, which was frequently used experimental route, and was possibly akin to transplant-mediated infection.

|
| Myeloid C-type lectin receptors exhibited a remarkable ability to recognize an extensive array of ligands, from carbohydrates and beyond, and encompass pattern-associated molecular patterns, damage-associated molecular patterns, and markers of altered self. [Immunity] |

| Long COVID has been a vexing foe, but these clinical trials mark a new chapter. They’re the first targeting the syndrome’s underlying biology, including the one Hayden joined, focus on a key question: Is lingering SARS-CoV-2 virus behind patients’ symptoms? [Science Insider] |

| Canada will not reach the original World Health Organization’s (WHO) target of eliminating the Hepatitis C virus by 2030 and lags in comparison to other developed countries, a new study led by researchers at the University of Waterloo has found. [University of Waterloo] |
