TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed scRNA-seq on nasopharyngeal swabs from 58 healthy and COVID-19 participants, and identified genes associated with susceptibility, resistance, or infection response.

TL;DR: This work defines both protective and detrimental host responses to SARS-CoV-2, determines the direct viral targets of infection, and suggests that failed anti-viral epithelial immunity in the nasal mucosa may underlie the progression to severe COVID-19.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between intestinal microbiota and SARS-CoV-2-mediated pathogenicity in a United States, majority African American cohort was investigated, where 16S rRNA sequencing and qPCR analysis was performed on fecal DNA/RNA.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a prospective study of hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and COVID-negative controls to understand how Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use may affect angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression and stool SARS-CoV-2 RNA analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the prevalence of HαT in an irritable bowel syndrome cohort and associated immunologic characteristics that may distinguish patients with HαTs from patients without HTs were determined.
