    Triggered - does maternal COVID-19 program an exaggerated immune response in neonates?

    The consequences of gestational coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) exposure on neonatal immunity are incompletely understood. While vertical transmission to the fetus is rare, maternal COVID-19 exposure can ad...

    Autoantibodies to ACE2 and immune molecules are associated with COVID-19 disease severity

    Increased inflammation caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and long-term disease manifestations. The mechanisms of this variable long-term immune activation ar...

    Humoral and cellular response to the COVID-19 vaccine in immunocompromised children

    A suboptimal response to the 2-dose COVID-19 vaccine series in the immunocompromised population prompted recommendations for a 3rd primary dose. We aimed to determine the humoral and cellular immune response t...

    Immune cell residency in the nasal mucosa may partially explain respiratory disease severity across the age range

    Previous studies focusing on the age disparity in COVID-19 severity have suggested that younger individuals mount a more robust innate immune response in the nasal mucosa after infection with SARS-CoV-2. Howev...
