Highlights 76 bacterial species of 15 genera across healthy, COVID-19-positive, and recovered individuals Higher abundance of opportunistic intracellular bacteria in recovered group Higher microbial abundance within antigen-presenting cells of COVID-19 patients Differential microbial abundance...

Sex-dependent differences in type I IFN-induced natural killer cell activation Pujantell, Maria; Skenteris, Nikolaos-Taxiarchis; Claussen, Janna Marieke; Grünhagel, Benjamin; Thiele, Rebecca-Jo; Altfeld, Marcus Natural killer (NK) cells are important antiviral effector cells and also involved...

I wasn't sure what prefix to use given that the paper has been accepted in Cell but not published. I read about it in a paywalled news article as the abstract was presented at the ECTRIMS 2023. Ineffective Immune Control of Epstein-Barr Virus-Induced Autoreactive Responses is an Important Cause...

SARS-CoV-2 viral persistence in lung alveolar macrophages is controlled by IFN-γ and NK cells Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA generally becomes undetectable in upper airways after a few days or weeks postinfection. Here we used a model of viral...

Single-cell profiling identifies distinct hormonal, immunologic, and inflammatory signatures of endometriosis-constituting cells Sun Shin; Youn-Jee Chung; Seong Won Moon; Eun Ji Choi; Mee-Ran Kim; Yeun-Jun Chung; Sug Hyung Lee Endometriosis consists of ectopic endometrial epithelial cells...

SARS-CoV-2 infection induces a long-lived pro-inflammatory transcriptional profile Zhang, Jia-Yuan; Whalley, Justin P.; Knight, Julian C.; Wicker, Linda S.; Todd, John A.; Ferreira, Ricardo C. The immune response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in...

Abstract: Millions globally suffer from myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The inflammatory symptoms, illness onset, recorded outbreak events, and physiological variations provide strong indications that ME/CFS, at least sometimes, has an infectious origin, possibly...

Tissue Determinants of Human NK Cell Development, Function, and Residence Pranay Dogra; Chiara Rancan; Wenji Ma; Marta Toth; Takashi Senda; Dustin J. Carpenter; Masaru Kubota; Rei Matsumoto; Puspa Thapa; Peter A. Szabo; Maya Meimei Li Poon; Jacky Li; Janice Arakawa-Hoyt; Yufeng Shen; Lawrence...

Abstract: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling multisystemic condition. The pathomechanism of ME/CFS remains unestablished; however, impaired natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity is a consistent feature of this condition. Calcium (Ca2+) is crucial for NK...

Plasma proteome of Long-COVID patients indicates HIF-mediated vasculo-proliferative disease with impact on brain and heart function Iosef, Cristiana; Knauer, Michael J.; Nicholson, Michael; Van Nynatten, Logan R.; Cepinskas, Gediminas; Draghici, Sorin; Han, Victor K. M.; Fraser, Douglas D. Aims...

Abstract Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) by natural killer (NK) lymphocytes eliminates cells infected with viruses. Antiviral ADCC requires three components: 1) antibody; 2) effector lymphocytes with the Fc-IgG receptor CD16A; and 3) viral proteins in infected cell...

Mild/Asymptomatic Maternal SARS-CoV-2 Infection Leads to Immune Paralysis in Fetal Circulation and Immune Dysregulation in Fetal-Placental Tissues Brianna M Doratt; Suhas Sureshchandra; Heather True; Monica Rincon; Nicole E Marshall; Ilhem Messaoudi Few studies have addressed the impact of...

authors: Abstract Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a multisystem illness characterized by substantial reduction in function accompanied by profound unexplained fatigue not significantly relieved by rest, post-exertional malaise, and other symptoms...

Abstract The biology driving individual patient responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection remains ill understood. Here, we developed a patient-centric framework leveraging detailed longitudinal phenotyping data and covering a year after disease onset, from 215...

https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/3/2010 Abstract Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling multisystem illness in which individuals are plagued with fatigue, inflammatory symptoms, cognitive dysfunction, and the hallmark symptom, post-exertional malaise. While...

SARS-CoV-2 escapes direct NK cell killing through Nsp1-mediated downregulation of ligands for NKG2D Madeline J. Lee, Michelle W. Leong, Arjun Rustagi, Aimee Beck, Leiping Zeng, Susan Holmes,4 Lei S. Qi, Catherine A. Blish Natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic effector cells that target and...

Persistent Overactive Cytotoxic Immune Response in a Spanish Cohort of Individuals With Long-COVID: Identification of Diagnostic Biomarkers Miguel Galan, Lorena Vigon, Daniel Fuertes, Marıa Aranzazu Murciano-Anton, Guiomar Casado-Fernandez, Susana Domınguez-Mateos, Elena Mateos, Fernando...

The pathophysiology of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) remains elusive, leading to a lack of objective diagnostic criteria and targeted treatment. We globally evaluated immune system changes in FMS by conducting multiparametric flow cytometry analyses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and...
