TL;DR: A genome-wide association analysis in the UK Biobank and INTERVAL studies is performed, providing evidence of shared genetic pathways linking blood cell indices with complex pathologies, including autoimmune diseases, schizophrenia, and coronary heart disease and evidence suggesting previously reported population associations betweenBlood cell indices and cardiovascular disease may be non-causal.

TL;DR: It is shown that expression of variant antigenic determinants is correlated with expression of individual members of a large, multigene family named var, which is consistent with the involvement of var genes in antigenic variation and binding to endothelium.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report chronic SARS-CoV-2 with reduced sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies in an immune suppressed individual treated with convalescent plasma, generating whole genome ultradeep sequences over 23 time points spanning 101 days.

TL;DR: It is shown that intact malaria-infected erythrocytes adhere to dendritic cells, inhibit the maturation of dendedritic cells and subsequently reduce their capacity to stimulate T cells, demonstrating both a novel mechanism by which malaria parasites induce immune dysregulation and a functional role beyond endothelial adhesion for the adhesive phenotypes expressed at the surface of infected ery Throcytes.
