Lower female survival from an opportunistic infection reveals progesterone-driven sex bias in trained immunity

Summary: Immune responses differ between females and males, although such sex-based variance is incompletely understood.Observing that bacteremia of the opportunistic pathogen Burkholderia gladioli caused Body Oils many more deaths of female than male mice bearing genetic deficiencies in adaptive immunity, we determined that this was associated wit

The expanding roles of Nr6a1 in development and evolution

The Nuclear Receptor (NR) family of transcriptional regulators possess the ability to sense signalling molecules and directly couple that to a transcriptional response.While this large class of proteins are united by sequence and structural homology, individual NR functional output varies greatly depending on their expression, ligand selectivity an

Golgi localization of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and interaction with furin in cerebral COVID-19 microangiopathy: a clue to the central nervous system involvement?

In a neuropathological series of 20 COVID-19 cases, we analyzed six cases (three biopsies and three autopsies) with multiple foci predominantly affecting the white matter as shown by MRI.The cases presented with microhemorrhages evocative of small artery diseases.This COVID-19 associated cerebral microangiopathy (CCM) was characterized by perivascu
