Immunology of COVID-19: Current State of the Science.

Nicolas Vabret, +87 more
- 16 Jun 2020 - 
TL;DR: The current state of knowledge of innate and adaptive immune responses elicited by SARS-CoV-2 infection and the immunological pathways that likely contribute to disease severity and death are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angiotensin?converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), SARS?CoV?2 and the pathophysiology of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID?19)

TL;DR: The role of ACE2 in CO VID‐19 pathophysiology is described, including factors influencing ACE2 expression and activity in relation to COVID‐19 severity, and the relevant pathological changes resulting from SARS‐CoV‐2 infection are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Why does COVID-19 disproportionately affect older people?

TL;DR: The molecular differences between young, middle-aged and older people that may explain why COVID-19 is a mild illness in some but life-threatening in others are presented and treatments that could increase the survival of older people are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Science Underlying COVID-19: Implications for the Cardiovascular System.

TL;DR: Persistent immune activation in predisposed patients, such as the elderly and those with CV risk, can lead to hemophagocytosis like syndrome, with uncontrolled amplification of cytokine production, leading to multi-organ failure and death.

A pneumonia outbreak associated with a new coronavirus of probable bat origin

TL;DR: Identification and characterization of a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which caused an epidemic of acute respiratory syndrome in humans in Wuhan, China, and it is shown that this virus belongs to the species of SARSr-CoV, indicates that the virus is related to a bat coronav virus.

A global reference for human genetic variation.

Adam Auton, +517 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: The 1000 Genomes Project set out to provide a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations, and has reconstructed the genomes of 2,504 individuals from 26 populations using a combination of low-coverage whole-generation sequencing, deep exome sequencing, and dense microarray genotyping.

The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) pilot analysis: Multitissue gene regulation in humans

Kristin G. Ardlie, +132 more
- 08 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: The landscape of gene expression across tissues is described, thousands of tissue-specific and shared regulatory expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) variants are cataloged, complex network relationships are described, and signals from genome-wide association studies explained by eQTLs are identified.
