TL;DR: In this paper, the brain's insular cortex (InsCtx) was shown to store immune-related information, and the brain can store and retrieve specific immune responses, extending the classical concept of immunological memory to neuronal representations.

TL;DR: This work developed a protocol based on Reverse Transcribed Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) for detection of SARS-CoV-2, directly from crude nose and throat swabs, and succeeded to apply the protocol on self-sampled saliva from confirmed cases.

TL;DR: A protocol based on reverse transcribed loop-mediated isothermal amplification for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 based on RT-LAMP applied directly on human clinical swabs and self-collected saliva samples to allow simple and rapid viral detection, with no RNA purification steps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gut microbiota - host interactions now also brain-immune axis
TL;DR: The 'gut-brain axis' is a fairly new term in the fairly new field of the gut microbiota, the collection of microorganisms residing in intestines of vertebrates, that was shown to have major effects on host physiology.

Remembering immunity: Neuronal ensembles in the insular cortex encode and retrieve specific immune responses
Tamar Koren,Maria Krot,Nadia Boshnak,Mariam Amer,Tamar L. Ben-Shaanan,Hilla Azulay-Debby,Haitham Hajjo,Eden Avishai,Maya Schiller,Hedva Haykin,Ben Korin,Dorit Farfara,Fahed Hakim,Kobi Rosenblum,Asya Rolls +14 more
TL;DR: It is shown that immune-related information is stored in the brain’s insular cortex (InsCtx) and that the brain can encode and initiate specific immune responses, extending the classical concept of immunological memory to neuronal representations of immunity.
