"Unveiling the Immune Response: Single-Cell Resolution Cytokine Dictionary"

Researchers have created a comprehensive dictionary of immune responses to cytokines at single-cell resolution. Using single-cell transcriptomic analysis, they profiled the responses of more than 17 immune cell types to 86 different cytokines in mouse lymph nodes. The study revealed cell-type-specific gene expression changes and identified distinct polarization states induced by cytokines in each cell type. The findings provide a molecular map of immune responses to cytokines and shed light on the complex interactions between cytokines and immune cells.

Unraveling COVID-19: Understanding Population Disparities and Immune Responses

Variations in immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 across populations are influenced by latent cytomegalovirus infection and human genetic factors shaped by natural selection, according to a study by researchers from the Institut Pasteur, CNRS, and the Collège de France. The study analyzed immune responses to the virus among populations in Central Africa, Western Europe, and East Asia, finding that differences in blood cellular composition and the expression of certain genes contribute to the varying severity levels of COVID-19. These findings could aid in improving patient management during future epidemics and pave the way for precision medicine strategies.
