TL;DR: To identify further susceptibility alleles, a two-stage genome-wide association study in 4,398 breast cancer cases and 4,316 controls was conducted, followed by a third stage in which 30 single nucleotide polymorphisms were tested for confirmation.

TL;DR: The data suggest that SARS-CoV-2 could exploit species-specific interferon-driven upregulation of ACE2, a tissue-protective mediator during lung injury, to enhance infection.

TL;DR: A single-cell atlas of the maternal–fetal interface reveals the cellular organization of the decidua and placenta, and the interactions that are critical for placentation and reproductive success, and develops a repository of ligand–receptor complexes and a statistical tool to predict the cell–cell communication via these molecular interactions.

TL;DR: Single-cell transcriptomics reveals immune and stromal compartment remodeling, including the enrichment of unique populations of epithelial cells and CD4+ T cells, in asthmatic lungs.

TL;DR: The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 variant emerged in 20211 and has multiple mutations in its spike protein this paper , which increased the evasion of therapeutic monoclonal and vaccine-elicited polyclonal neutralizing antibodies after two doses.
