[Science Signaling] The authors investigated how relatively weak or strong tonic T cell receptor signals influence naive CD8+ T cell responses to stimulation with foreign antigens.

[Cell Discovery] Scientists identified both potent and broadly neutralizing antibodies from a five-dose vaccinated donor who exhibited cross-reactive serum-neutralizing activity against diverse coronaviruses.

[NPJ Vaccines] Investigators analyzed the plasma levels of 25 cytokines and SARS-CoV-2 directed antibodies in 540 individuals with or without post-COVID-19 conditions relative to one or two mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccinations as well as in 20 uninfected individuals one month after their initial mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination.

[Scientific Reports] Scientists provided molecular evidence that histone 3 lysine 4 methylation was key for inflammatory cytokine production in P. falciparum-exposed monocytes.

[Nature Microbiology] Researchers established rhesus macaques as an animal model for human norovirus infection. They showed that rhesus macaques are susceptible to oral infection with human noroviruses from two different genogroups.

[Nature Communications] Investigators provided evidence that the FluPol-RNAP II binding interface, beyond its well-acknowledged function in cap-snatching during transcription initiation, had also a pivotal role in replication of the viral genome.
