Purpose: The aim was to longitudinally explore changes in fatigue- and cognition-related symptoms during the first year after hospital treatment for COVID-19.

Method: Patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in Gothenburg, Sweden, were consecutively included from 01-07-2020 to 28-02-2021. Patients were assessed at the hospital (acute) and at 3 and 12 months after hospital discharge.

Current antibody-based immunotherapy depends on tumor antigen shedding for proper T cell priming. Here we select a novel human CD40 agonistic drug candidate and generate a bispecific antibody, herein named BiA9*2_HF, that allows for rapid antibody-peptide conjugate formation. The format is designed to facilitate peptide antigen delivery to CD40 expressing cells combined with simultaneous CD40 agonistic activity.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the differences in gene expression between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) around the heart and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in patients undergoing heart surgery, revealing distinct gene clusters linked to heart failure (HF) characteristics.
  • - Researchers identified 17 gene clusters in EAT, with seven showing significant correlations to heart failure measures, indicating a unique role that EAT may play in heart dysfunction, especially related to inflammation and tissue repair.
  • - The findings emphasize the different impacts of EAT and SAT on heart health, suggesting that EAT could influence the progression of heart failure, which necessitates further studies to better understand these connections.
