Complement activation induces excessive T cell cytotoxicity in severe COVID-19

TL;DR: The proportion of activated CD16+ T cells and plasma levels of complement proteins upstream of C3a correlated with clinical outcome, supporting a pathological role of exacerbated cytotoxicity and complement activation in COVID-19.

Inflammation and thrombosis in COVID-19 pathophysiology: Proteinase-activated and purinergic receptors as drivers and candidate therapeutic targets.

TL;DR: This work presents a framework for mechanisms of thrombosis in COVID-19 that initially derive from interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with ACE2, resulting in dysregulation of angiotensin signaling and subsequent inflammation and tissue injury.

An Effective COVID-19 Vaccine Needs to Engage T Cells.

TL;DR: A vaccine must elicit CD4 and CD8T cell immunity in addition to the production of neutralizing antibodies by B cells to achieve long-lasting immunity to the causative virus SARS-CoV-2 and its emerging variants where B cell epitopes can be mutated.
