The trinity of COVID-19: immunity, inflammation and intervention.

TL;DR: The interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with the immune system and the subsequent contribution of dysfunctional immune responses to disease progression is described and the implications of these approaches for potential therapeutic interventions that target viral infection and/or immunoregulation are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

PD-1 Dependent Exhaustion of CD8+ T Cells Drives Chronic Malaria

TL;DR: It is shown that PD-1 mediates up to a 95% reduction in numbers and functional capacity of parasite-specific CD8(+) T cells, which provides a molecular explanation for chronic malaria that will be relevant to future malaria-vaccine design and may need consideration when vaccine development for other infections is problematic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain microvessel cross-presentation is a hallmark of experimental cerebral malaria

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that PbA infection causes brain microvessels to cross‐present parasite antigen, while non‐ECM‐causing parasites do not, and combined therapies targeting both the parasite and host antigen‐presenting cells may improve the outcome of CM patients.
