TL;DR: This study provides detailed insights into the systemic immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and it reveals profound alterations in the myeloid cell compartment associated with severe COVID-19.

TL;DR: Severe disruption of Fam134b in mice causes expansion of the ER, inhibits ER turnover, sensitizes cells to stress-induced apoptotic cell death and leads to degeneration of sensory neurons, so selective ER-phagy via FAM134 proteins is indispensable for mammalian cell homeostasis and controls ER morphology and turnover in mice and humans.

TL;DR: It is shown by chromosome conformation capture that genomic duplications in patient cells and genetically modified mice can result in the formation of new chromatin domains (neo-TADs) and that this process determines their molecular pathology.

TL;DR: Evidence of ALS being a complex genetic trait with a polygenic architecture is established and the SNP-based heritability is estimated at 8.5%, with a distinct and important role for low-frequency variants (frequency 1–10%).

TL;DR: CHD7 represents the first identified chromatin-remodeling protein with a role in human puberty and the second gene to cause both normosmic IHH and KS in humans.
