Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) poses significant risks for solid organ transplant recipients, who have atypical but poorly characterized immune responses to infection. We aim to understand the host immunologic and microbial features of COVID-19 in transplant recipients by leveraging a prospective multicenter cohort of 86 transplant recipients age- and sex-matched with 172 non-transplant controls. We find that transplant recipients have higher nasal SARS-CoV-2 viral abundance and impaired viral clearance, and lower anti-spike IgG levels.

COVID-19 still spreads worldwide, and repeated infections are hard to avoid. Maternal infection during pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Our study used a multi-omics profiling method to explore the proteome and metabolome alteration in early embryonic development after COVID-19 infection.

As the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, plastic usage spiked, and microplastic (MP) generation has increased dramatically. It is documented that MP can transfer from the source to the ocean environment where they accumulate as the destination. Therefore, it is essential to understand their transferring pathways and effective environmental factors to determine the distribution of MPs in the marine environment.

Objectives: Delayed surgery is significantly associated with an increased risk of disease progression and adverse outcomes in lung cancer. Evidence is available on the variation in delayed surgical treatment among patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). However, the relative contribution of patient- and area-level risk factors to the geographic patterns of delayed surgery in patients with NSCLC is poorly understood.

Unlabelled: The tonsils have been identified as a site of replication for Epstein-Barr virus, adenovirus, human papillomavirus, and other respiratory viruses. Human tonsil epithelial cells (HTECs) are a heterogeneous group of actively differentiating cells. Here, we investigated the cellular features and susceptibility of differentiated HTECs to specific influenza viruses, including expression of avian-type and mammalian-type sialic acid (SA) receptors, viral replication dynamics, and the associated cytokine secretion profiles.
