Lipoprotein(a), venous thromboembolism and COVID-19: A pilot study

- 01 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated whether Lp(a) elevation may contribute to the pro-thrombotic state hallmarking COVID-19 patients, which is mainly driven by interleukin (IL)-6.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma biomarker profiling of PIMS-TS, COVID-19 and SARS-CoV2 seropositive children - a cross-sectional observational study from southern India.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a multiplex immune assay analysis and compared the plasma biomarkers of Paediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, seropositive and control children admitted to a tertiary care children's hospital in Chennai, India.
Journal ArticleDOI

A defective viral genome strategy elicits broad protective immunity against respiratory viruses

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors created a DVG by deleting the capsid-coding region of poliovirus and showed that intraperitoneal or intranasal administration of this DVG elicits an antiviral response, inhibits replication and protects mice from several RNA viruses, including enteroviruses, influenza and SARS-CoV-2.
Journal ArticleDOI

What SARS-CoV-2 does to our brains

TL;DR: HuHuang et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed the available literature on CNS affection in the context of COVID-19 infection, as well as observations from animal studies on the molecular pathways involved in sickness behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bloodstream infections in the COVID-19 era: results from an Italian multi-centre study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of the pandemic on bloodstream infections (BSIs) was investigated in patients with COVID-19 in four Italian hospitals between 1 January and 30 June 2020.

TH1 and TH2 cells: different patterns of lymphokine secretion lead to different functional properties.

TL;DR: Two types of cloned helper T cells are described, defined primarily by differences in the pattern of lymphokines ynthesized, and the different functions of the two types of cells and their lymphokine synthesis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

From inflammation to sickness and depression: when the immune system subjugates the brain

TL;DR: In response to a peripheral infection, innate immune cells produce pro-inflammatory cytokines that act on the brain to cause sickness behaviour, which can lead to an exacerbation of sickness and the development of symptoms of depression in vulnerable individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-17 and Th17 Cells.

TL;DR: The investigation of the differentiation, effector function, and regulation of Th17 cells has opened up a new framework for understanding T cell differentiation and now appreciate the importance of Th 17 cells in clearing pathogens during host defense reactions and in inducing tissue inflammation in autoimmune disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gout-associated uric acid crystals activate the NALP3 inflammasome

TL;DR: It is shown that MSU and CPPD engage the caspase-1-activating NALP3 (also called cryopyrin) inflammasome, resulting in the production of active interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 in mice deficient in the IL-1β receptor.
