Immune status in women after COVID-19 living in the subarctic region by L. S. Shchegoleva, E. Yu. Shashkova, M. S. Kabbani, O. E. Filippova

“…It was found that the imbalance in the formation of the immune response after COVID-19 is formed due to innate immunity (CD16+, neutrophils (r = 0.89; p < 0.001)), affects the adaptive immunity and depends on the severity of the disease and the time since recovery. The most significant contribution to the formation of the adaptive immune response was established due to cellmediated cytotoxicity (CD8+, CD16+) and the activity of apoptotic processes (CD95+) both after 6 and 12 months and does not depend on the severity of the COVID-19. …”

Resolving mechanisms of immune‐mediated disease in primary CD4 T cells by Christophe Bourges, Abigail F Groff, Oliver S Burren, Chiara Gerhardinger, Kaia Mattioli, Anna Hutchinson, Theodore Hu, Tanmay Anand, Madeline W Epping, Chris Wallace, Kenneth GC Smith, John L Rinn, James C Lee

“…To determine whether causal variants could be identified from their functional effects, we adapted a massively parallel reporter assay for use in primary CD4 T cells, the cell type whose regulatory DNA is most enriched for immune‐mediated disease SNPs. This enabled the effects of candidate SNPs to be examined in a relevant cellular context and generated testable hypotheses into disease mechanisms. …”
