TL;DR: It is shown that a mutant allele of CCR-5 is present at a high frequency in caucasian populations, but is absent in black populations from Western and Central Africa and Japanese populations, and a 32-base-pair deletion within the coding region results in a frame shift, and generates a non-functional receptor that does not support membrane fusion or infection by macrophage- and dual-tropic HIV-1 strains.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the T- Tropic viruses characteristic of disease progression may evolve from purely M-tropic viruses prevalent early in virus infection through changes in the env protein that enable the virus to use multiple entry cofactors.

TL;DR: A critical role for lung ILCs in restoring airway epithelial integrity and tissue homeostasis after infection with influenza virus is demonstrated.

TL;DR: CCR5-modified autologous CD4 T-cell infusions are safe within the limits of this study, and HIV RNA became undetectable in one of four patients who could be evaluated.

TL;DR: SourceTracker, a Bayesian approach to estimate the proportion of contaminants in a given community that come from possible source environments, is presented, and microbial surveys from neonatal intensive care units, offices and molecular biology laboratories are applied.
